Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - McQueen Eau de Parfum
This McQueen tuberose bomb is sophisticated and intriguing, even if its strong resemblance to Madonna's Truth or Dare polarises opinion. It's a modern floral with a vintage soul, offering elegance that's not for the faint of heart, or for those expecting an avant-garde scent.

Our Verdict - Néroli Botanica Eau de Parfum
A divisive yet distinctive neroli. Plenty rave about its natural white floral freshness and impressive staying power, but some find it too sharp, soapy, or just a bit 'blah'. Definitely not a blind buy.
