Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Must de Cartier EDP
This is an absolute classic. Forget the modern reformulations - hunt down an original vintage bottle for that true, opulent 80s glamour. It's a statement piece, not a wallflower, and utterly unforgettable.

Our Verdict - Boucheron EDP
A divisive yet iconic 80s powerhouse, Boucheron still commands respect. It’s a bold statement for a self-assured woman, though some find it dated; a love-it-or-hate-it classic that’s aged gracefully for the right wearer.
