Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Incandessence
A classic Avon floral that punches above its weight. It's divisive, with some finding it a radiant, uplifting garden, whilst others dismiss it as a cheap, synthetic air freshener. For the price, it delivers a sunny, feminine charm that's hard to beat.

Our Verdict - Pur Desir de Pivoine
A simple, pure peony soliflore that captures the fresh essence of spring. While many laud its natural floral charm, some find it a bit too fleeting or even synthetic in the opening. A beloved, if discontinued, gem for those who crave unadulterated floral freshness.
