Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - French Defense EDP
This one is a divisive, boozy cherry. Some reckon it's a masterpiece of refined fruit, others smell glorified air freshener or cough syrup. Don't blind buy; you'll either love it or furiously scrub it off.

Our Verdict - Euphoria EDP
This perfume is a divisive one. While many adore its unique, dark floral and woody profile for its alluring quality, others find it too masculine, dated, or simply 'meh'. Be warned: performance varies wildly, particularly with newer batches.
