Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Zenit Lilac Extrait
A pretty, if fleeting, floral burst for those who love straightforward rose. Don't expect a power-player, but it's a solid choice for warm weather when you want something light and joyful.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Rose Eau de Parfum
Paul Smith Rose is the ultimate fresh, 'straight from the garden' rose that dodges all the usual 'old lady' criticisms. It's a crowd-pleaser and a definite hidden gem, though be warned: some find its green tea note a bit too sharp or synthetic, and performance is a bit hit or miss.
