Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Winter Candy Apple Eau de Parfum

This one's a proper festive crowd-pleaser, delivering exactly what it promises: a sugary, spiced apple. Some reckon it's a bit too 'shampoo-y' or artificial, but for most, it's Christmas in a bottle - warm, joyful, and surprisingly versatile.

Our Verdict - Black Sesame Extrait

This one is a divisive but intriguing floral gourmand. Some rave it's an addictive, compliment-getting marvel; others find its performance just alright, leaving them on the fence about a full bottle. Definitely sample it to see if it grabs you.
