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 - Paradox EDP
Match Fragrances' interpretation of Prada's Paradoxe (2022) - the Daniela Andrier and Quentin Bisch neroli-jasmine-musk composition fronted by Emma Watson that became Prada's modern feminine flagship, here translated into a neroli-pear opening over jasmine and a musk close. Honest dupe-fidelity for daytime and date wear at a fraction of the designer price.
