Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Avant Ruby

A vibrant, dupe-style scent that splits opinions with its initial sharp citrus, but wins over many with its soft, floral dry down. It's a fresh take on rose, perfect for everyday wear.

Our Verdict - Sal Y Limon

A brilliant, juicy summer zinger that nails the 'salty lemon' brief without smelling like a cleaning product - as long as you can get past the initial citrus flurry. Some reckon the performance isn't up to scratch, but most find it surprisingly good for a freshie.
