Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bucephalus XV

This one's a bit of a mystery, isn't it? The notes suggest a tantalising unisex floral, but it's proving impossible to track down. A truly covetable phantom of a fragrance.

Acquired

Our Verdict - Avant Ruby

A vibrant, dupe-style scent that splits opinions with its initial sharp citrus, but wins over many with its soft, floral dry down. It's a fresh take on rose, perfect for everyday wear.
