Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Iris 39 EDP
Le Labo's Iris 39 is a divisive beast: some rave about its earthy, rooty iris, while others are put off by a heavy violet-patchouli combo. It's a proper chypre with an old-school feel that commands attention.

Our Verdict - Audacious EDP
This one is a total stunner, no two ways about it. If you're after a floral that packs a punch and leaves a lasting impression, Audacious is your jam. Think Naxos, but with a more flamboyant floral flourish.
