Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Little Red Dress Eau de Parfum

This Raspberry-Rose-Sandalwood combo is a divisive one. For some, it's a surprisingly classy, sensual Avon offering, smelling 'expensive' and 'grown up'. For others, it's a 'generic', 'cheap-smelling', cloying sweet mess, or just a bit dull.

Our Verdict - Violet Sapphire Eau de Parfum

Violet Sapphire is a divisive one. Fans call it a 'beast mode' fruity-oud, a step up from the Erba Pura style with a smoother, more natural feel. Critics, though, find it overpriced and surprisingly similar to mass-market fruity fragrances, with some detecting an unpleasant 'dirty musk' or 'barnyard' oud.

This perfume is a 'beast mode' performer with strong projection and longevity, making it too overwhelming for close-quarter office environments. Its opulent blend of fruits, florals, and oud is perfect for evening dates and formal events where you want to make a statement, but some find it versatile enough for more casual, daring wear.
