Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - R.E.M EDP
R.E.M. is a divisive, quirky lavender gourmand that manages to be both sweet and salty. While many find it comforting and unique, some struggle with its unusual blend, likening it to anything from laundry detergent to an old aftershave. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
Favourite
Our Verdict - REM - 655 EDP
No. 655 leans into Ariana Grande R.E.M.'s calming lavender-and-salted-caramel signature convincingly, but the tonka-musk base is softer and less velvety than the original's cozier, longer-wearing finish.
