Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Secret Obsession EDP
This one's a proper Marmite scent, isn't it? People either adore its spicy-woody warmth or wrinkle their nose at what they perceive as boozy, dusty plum. Not a safe blind buy, but if it clicks, it's a surprising gem.

Our Verdict - Classique X-Mas Edition 2020 EDT
This Christmas Classique is a lovely, subtle twist on the original. It's an easy-wearing spiced floral that won't overwhelm, though its gentle nature might leave some wanting a bit more punch from a festive edition.
