Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Downtown Eau de Parfum
This one is an enigma, a 'love it or leave it' scent that sparked a lot of debate but ultimately landed in the 'fine, but forgettable' pile for many. If you want something subtle for your own enjoyment, and can find it for a steal, it's worth a shot. Otherwise, your money's better spent elsewhere.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Sceptre Malachite Eau de Parfum
A truly impressive, juicy 'mango' fragrance that punches well above its price point. It's a sweet, fresh, and tropical crowd-pleaser, perfect for making a statement without breaking the bank.
