Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Smoky Citrus Eau de Parfum

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect a genuinely unique, dark citrus experience, but be warned - the metallic, smoky eucalyptus might not be everyone’s cup of tea. Definitely not a blind-buy.

Our Verdict - Lumination Eau de Parfum

If a fresh, earthy scent that makes you feel like a CEO on holiday sounds good, Lumination's a solid choice. It's a crowd-pleaser that won't break the bank.
