Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Midnight Heat Eau de Parfum
Midnight Heat is a divisive fragrance that delivers a unique blend of dark fruit and earthy patchouli. It's either a sexy, mysterious night-time staple or a cloying, synthetic mess, depending on your body chemistry and tolerance for strong patchouli.
Statement
Our Verdict - Perfumista Eau de Parfum
A love-it-or-hate-it scent for the true 'perfumista', this one divides opinion with its strong personality. It's a complex, evolving chypre that's been lauded as a masterpiece by some and dismissed as 'old lady vibes' by others. Get it while it's still available.
