Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Calvin Klein Women EDT
This one's a divisive freshie-to-musk, with some finding it a clean, effortless delight for warm weather and others recoiling from its synthetic kick. If you're sensitive to ambroxan, approach with caution; otherwise, it's a pleasant, if unremarkable, everyday option.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Women - 900 EDP
No. 900 draws on Calvin Klein Women - eucalyptus and black pepper against orange blossom, magnolia, and jasmine over cedarwood. The dupe nails the fresh-floral contrast in the opening, but the original's blend of hedione and ambroxan gives it a diffusive, radiant quality that No. 900 doesn't fully replicate, settling into a simpler, closer-wearing florals-and-wood finish.
