Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Veloura Essence EDP
A budget take on Mind Games Sissa. The toasted-sesame-and-coumarin opening melting into warm milk, tonka and vanilla captures the original's cosy fresh-bread gourmand; this dupe loses some of Sissa's extrait richness and the labdanum depth, wearing softer and shorter.
Statement
Our Verdict - Rice Flower And Shea EDP
A comforting unisex scent with a cozy powdery profile, perfect for casual or office wear during cooler months.
