Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Norah Bella Eau de Parfum

If you're after a less powdery, deeper take on a popular pink-floral DNA, Norah Bella delivers a charming, well-priced experience, though it needs a bit of a sit after purchase to really shine.

Our Verdict - Lafayette Street Eau de Parfum

Bond No. 9 Lafayette Street is a divisive one, hyped by many as a mass-appealing, versatile masterpiece, but dismissed by others as overpriced and utterly generic. It's safe, sure, but whether it smells 'luxurious' or like cheap wet wipes depends entirely on your nose and your budget.
