Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lacoste Eau de Parfum

This early 00s classic, now sadly discontinued in its original form, is a comforting, clean, and effortlessly elegant everyday scent. Despite its often-cited lack of longevity, its unique powdery floral and spicy suede profile continues to win hearts.

Our Verdict - Perceive Eau de Parfum

Perceive is an absolute marmite fragrance; people either adore its unique, peppery floral character or find it utterly unbearable. There's no middle ground here, so definitely one to test before buying because it's a wild card on skin chemistry.
