Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Love Delight EDP

A modern Amouage that's surprisingly divisive. It pulls in different directions, from bright gourmand to powdery floral to even 'bug spray' for some. A safe blind buy for others, if you like a spiced vanilla with a twist, this could be your new signature. Just be sure to test it on your skin first.

Our Verdict - To Be Born To Shine Woman EDP

A divisive one, this. Police's 'To Be Born To Shine Woman' is an affordable Black Opium-esque scent that some rave about for its warm, sweet coffee goodness, while others dismiss as a synthetic, short-lived dupe. Best for those who enjoy gourmand profiles and don't mind a touch of artificiality in their budget-friendly buys.

To Be Born To Shine Woman

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Its sweet and warm nature makes it suitable for casual wear or dates, though its moderate projection keeps it from being too overwhelming. The gourmand aspects and sometimes synthetic feel reduce its appropriateness for formal settings or professional office environments, but it can work if applied lightly.
