Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Amor Amor Forbidden Kiss
This flanker is Marmite-esque-ly divisive. Some adore its gourmand coffee-vanilla twist on the original, calling it a 'powerhouse' of 'magic'. Others find it synthetic or fleeting, claiming the promised notes vanish too quickly.
Statement
Our Verdict - Pretty Swan
This perfume is a beautifully discontinued, subtle powdery dream that encapsulates delicate femininity. Despite some reports of poor performance, its unique, comforting softness is adored by many, making it a cult favourite.
