Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - The Beat Eau de Parfum

This discontinued gem is mourned by many, offering a uniquely fresh yet warm profile that evokes nostalgia and widespread compliments. Its 'masterpiece' status among fans is undeniable, contrasting sharply with those who find it a bit too peppery or simply 'meh'.

Our Verdict - Back to the Roots Eau de Parfum

This one is a divisive brew. A super green, woody iris that some will adore for its unique, almost vintage charm, while others will find it just a bit off or too astringent. Definitely not a blind buy.
