Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Wanted Girl EDP
A divisive sweet treat. Some find this a delicious, versatile gourmand with a creamy lactonic heart, others find it a generic floral with disappointing longevity. The main selling point, if you buy into it, is the dulce de leche.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Similar to Black Opium - No.12 EDP
A softer, creamier read on YSL's Black Opium - the coffee-and-vanilla gourmand core comes through clearly, but the original's sharp jolt of roasted coffee and cashmeran-cedar depth is toned down here into a gentler latte-like skin scent with noticeably shorter legs.
