This one's a proper British classic, or at least it used to be. While the current formulation lacks the gravitas of its 90s heyday, it still offers a comforting, if sometimes fleeting, blend of soft fruits and woody warmth. A nostalgic hug, but one that might not linger as long as you'd hope.

This forgotten gem from Britney Spears 'In Control Curious' is a sweet and musky vanilla dream, adored by many for its dark and seductive depth which is sometimes compared to niche perfumes but largely, it is an underperforming crowd-pleaser that is definitely worth the hunt.
