Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cosmic Radiance Eau de Parfum

A divisive sibling to the original Radiance, Cosmic Radiance splits opinions between those who find its tart fruitiness refreshing and those who find it a 'cheap', 'headache-inducing' imitation. It's not groundbreaking but delivers a playful, sweet floral for the right chemistry.

Our Verdict - So de la Renta Eau de Parfum

This 90s floral fruity is a divisive one. For some, it's a sophisticated, fresh and enduring classic. For others, it's dated, weak, or smells like cheap bathroom spray. Body chemistry is definitely a factor here, so try before you buy.
