Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Essence Aqua Fresh EDT
A refreshing, budget-friendly choice embodying aquatic and fruity freshness, perfect for everyday wear.
Statement
Our Verdict - Little Italy EDP
This one's a proper marmite fragrance - some reckon it's a photorealistic citrus gelato dream, others are convinced it's a £200 bottle of orange cleaning product or, worse, cilantro. Definitely try before you buy, or you might end up smelling like a hot kitchen or rotten fruit.
