Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pretty Eau de Parfum
This one's a safe bet for a reason. Elizabeth Arden's 'Pretty' is exactly what it says on the tin: a universally pleasing, fresh floral that hits the sweet spot between gentle and noticeable. It's not groundbreaking, but it's genuinely lovely and affordable.

Our Verdict - Nolita Eau de Parfum
Nolita is your ultimate fresh, 'clean girl' scent - if you can overlook the contentious price tag and uncanny resemblance to high street body mists. It's divisive, with some critics claiming it's an overpriced 'shampoo-ey' fragrance, whilst fans adore its sweet, juicy, effervescent charm.
