Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Eden EDP
Divisive, unique, and powerful, Eden is a legendary scent that polarises opinions like few others. It's either an otherworldly masterpiece or a migraine in a bottle; there's no middle ground here.
Acquired
Our Verdict - 166 Joy EDP
Inspired by Dior Joy. The bergamot-rose-jasmine-sandalwood structure lands close on first spray, but No. 166 lacks the original's opulent floral density and its famous multi-hour trail.
