Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Gary's Den
This one's a divisive hit. For iris lovers, it's a solid, budget-friendly homage that many rate highly, especially after some maceration. But if you're expecting a perfect Dior dupe, prepare for potential disappointment and a "Coca-Cola" vibe that not everyone appreciates.

Our Verdict - Filtro d'Amore
This one's a proper grown-up vanilla, warm and inviting without being sickly sweet. It's got fans for good reason; a definite crowd-pleaser that delivers on cosy sophistication and a touch of something special.
