Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Nolita EDP
Nolita is your ultimate fresh, 'clean girl' scent - if you can overlook the contentious price tag and uncanny resemblance to high street body mists. It's divisive, with some critics claiming it's an overpriced 'shampoo-ey' fragrance, whilst fans adore its sweet, juicy, effervescent charm.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Riddle Extrait
A fresh floral-musk take on Prada Paradoxe. Riddle picks up the neroli-jasmine-amber signature reasonably well, though it is less creamy and rounded than the original's distinctive white amber base.
