Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Nuits de Noho EDP
This is a love-it-or-hate-it kind of fragrance, consistently compared to Mugler's Angel, yet often preferred for its supposedly more refined, less sweet character. Expect a hefty patchouli presence; if that's not your bag, best steer clear. It's a bold scent that certainly makes an entrance.

Our Verdict - XXY Parfum
This one's a divisive drop: some hail it as a luxurious, high-quality iris masterpiece, while others dismiss it as overpriced and underperforming. Expect a sophisticated, somewhat distant comfort, but don't expect it to project across the room.
