Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Grey Flannel Eau de Parfum
Grey Flannel is a true legend, still sparking heated debate decades on. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, a divisive green-floral powerhouse for those who dare to be different. Not for the faint-hearted, nor for those who prefer their scents sweet.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Ivoire Eau de Parfum
If you're after a clean, sophisticated, soapy scent that exudes timeless elegance without screaming for attention, Ivoire is an absolute gem. A real love-it-or-hate-it for some; for others, it's a classy office staple that evokes pure comfort. Prepare to search for it, though - this beauty's been cruelly discontinued.
