Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Romance EDP
A timeless floral-musk that radiates airy elegance and femininity. Perfect for spring days, Romance is the essence of clean, polished confidence with a soft, intimate touch.
Favourite
Our Verdict - 163 Rush 2 EDP
Inspired by Gucci Rush 2. The freesia-narcissus-musk skeleton reads true to the original's lighter, greener flanker, but No. 163 fades to a plain clean musk well before Rush 2's soft powdery finish settles in.
