Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pur Blanca Eau de Parfum
Pur Blanca: a clean, pure, and refreshingly simple floral, divisive only if you expect more than its budget price tag delivers. It's the ultimate 'clean girl' scent - if you can get past an hour's wear.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Alaïa Eau de Parfum
This is a truly divisive scent- a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect strong, almost contradictory notes of cool freshness, bold leather, and powdery florals. Not a safe blind buy, but a real gem for those it clicks with.

Occasions
