Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Soir de Paris
This legendary classic, with its deep violet and powdery embrace, brings forth nostalgic memories for many. It's a polarizing scent; some find it a delightful vintage dream, while others are put off by its 'old-fashioned' character and sharp edges.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Red Secret
If you're on the hunt for a sophisticated, feminine scent that's a bit of a chameleon, Red Secret is worth a sniff. Some find it a bit too mature initially, but give it time - the dry down is where the magic happens, revealing a really elegant warmth.
