Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vanille Caviar EDP
This one's a divisive beast. Some adore its sophisticated, non-gourmand vanilla depth, while others recoil from what they perceive as a challenging, even 'fishy' scent. Definitely not a blind buy, but for those it clicks with, it's an addictive, unique vanilla experience.

Our Verdict - John Varvatos EDT
This one's a smooth operator - a sophisticated, quietly confident scent that proves you don't need to shout to be heard. It's a crowd-pleaser that manages to feel unique, a proper modern classic.
