Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Iris Fauve
Prepare for a proper cinnamon storm, as Iris Fauve delivers a warm, spicy wallop. If you're after a delicate iris, you'll be disappointed, but if rich, enveloping amber with a hint of powdery mystique is your jam, you're in for a treat. Just don't expect it to stick around all day.

Our Verdict - Patchouliful
This perfume is a divisive one. It's either an absolute triumph of clean, sophisticated patchouli, or it's a medicinal mess. If you're a patchouli connoisseur, approach with an open mind; if you usually hate it, this is actually worth a sniff.
