Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rima XI EDP
This one's a proper chameleon. Expect a creamy, warm spicy vanilla that's either a cosy gourmand dream or a 'soapy aftershave' shocker, depending on your bottle, your skin, and perhaps the alignment of the stars. It's divisive, but when it hits right, it's a beauty.
