Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Maldives in a Bottle Ylang Coco I 20 EDP
This one's a proper divisive holiday romance. Some reckon it's a unique, fresh tropical dream, while others find the rosemary and tropical notes a jarring, cloying mismatch. Definitely one to try before you buy a full bottle - if it ever gets one.

Our Verdict - Lagoon Extrait
Lagoon is Aromara's take on Kayali Maldives in a Bottle Ylang Coco I 20, matching the coconut-ylang-vanilla holiday signature at a fraction of the original's price. The creamy tropical character carries through well, with a slightly simpler, sweeter finish than the original's more layered floral-vanilla blend.
