Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Goldea EDP
Divisive, yet undeniably captivating. Some find Goldea a 'genius in simple things' that screams 'synthetic money', while others recoil from its 'overly sweet and loud' nature. A rich, golden scent with a maturity that splits opinions.

Our Verdict - Le Lumière EDP
This flanker to the original Le Parfum is a divisive white floral experience - some find it a glorious, luminous bouquet, while others are put off by a perceived bitterness or cloying sweetness. Expect compliments, or perhaps, a few puzzled expressions.
