Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Midnight Rain Eau de Parfum
This one is a real treasure, often mourned since its discontinuation. It's a luscious tropical fruit cocktail with a sophisticated floral woody depth that garnered passionate praise, making it a highly coveted, unique scent. If you can find it, it's worth the splurge, making you feel undeniably sexy and luxurious, though some may find the sweetness a tad much.

Our Verdict - City Rush Eau de Parfum
This one's a divisive hit from Avon. Many find it surprisingly sophisticated for the price, a dead ringer for Gucci Guilty with better longevity, while others are left cold by what they perceive as a plain, linear scent. Either way, it's a plum-heavy comfort scent with a loyal following.
