Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rare Gold Eau de Parfum

A divisive but cheap and cheerful '90s floral aldehyde. Some say it's a classy powerhouse; others say 'old lady soap'. If you're a vintage lover, give it a go, for everyone else, maybe avoid a blind buy.

Our Verdict - Fior di Loto Eau de Parfum

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, but for a ridiculously low price, you get an absolute beast of a scent that punches well above its weight. Expect compliments, or expect a headache - there's no middle ground here.

Several reviews highlight its warmth, elegance, and assertiveness, making it suitable for date nights or formal gatherings where a noticeable presence is desired. However, its strong projection and heavier floral-aldehydic character might be too overpowering for an office setting or casual daytime wear, as some found it 'too loud'.
