Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Desert Rose EDP
If you're after a budget-friendly take on the Oud Maracuja DNA, Desert Rose delivers, albeit with a bit of a split personality. It's not for everyone, with some finding it a bit 'meh' while others praise its quality and wearability.

Our Verdict - Reine de Nuit 2019 EDT
This is a serious, opulent rose that polarises. For those who love its dark, jammy depth, it's a vampy, sexy dream. For others, it's a bit too much- like a rich aunty's lipstick mixed with a smokey ham sandwich. Regardless, it's a high-class, unique statement scent.

Occasions

Best For:

Autumn Winter
Also Works:

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
