Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Noa EDP
This 90s staple is divisive, with some finding it a comforting, clean skin scent reminiscent of Nivea or Dove, while others get a musty, baby-wipe, or even 'poopy' note. It's a subtle, intimate wear for those who appreciate its gentle allure.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Van Cleef EDP
This 90s powerhouse is a divisive old-school stunner. While some find its green, balsamic heft a little too much, others adore its rich, confident, and utterly glamorous aura. Expect compliments - and perhaps a few raised eyebrows.
