Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ardent EDP
Ardent is a smooth, sophisticated rose and beeswax number, a clear step up from TF Noir de Noir for many. Its elegant ambered-rose profile and softer projection make it more versatile, though some feel the performance could be bolder for the price.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Celestia Viola EDP
This one's a head-turner, no doubt. Celestia Viola brings a bold, spicy elegance that's not for the faint of heart, but it absolutely shines when you want to make an impression.
