Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Le Parfum
This Rikyiel scent is divisive; some adore its rich, cognac-like facets, while others find its intensity suffocating and 'old-fashioned.' It's a statement scent, clearly not for those who prefer understated fragrances.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Brit Red Eau de Parfum
This discontinued gem is a festive, unique, and polarising treat. Expect a bold, tart rhubarb opening that either delights or divides, mellowing into a sweet, spicy vanilla that evokes warm, cozy Christmas memories for its fervent fans.
