Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Psychedelic Love Eau de Parfum
A truly divisive fragrance, Psychedelic Love can be either an intoxicating, sexy masterpiece or a cloying, 'grandma'-scented headache. If you're willing to take the trip, sample it first - the pay-off is immense for many.

Our Verdict - Dark Orchid Eau de Parfum
This one's a divisive beast. If you're after something bold, dark, and sensual, Dark Orchid delivers. Just don't say we didn't warn you about its potency - a little goes a very long way, and it's definitely not for everyone.
