Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 212 Sexy EDP
Divisive and bold, 212 Sexy splits opinion but consistently delivers intense, long-lasting presence. Calling it "sexy" is a bit on-the-nose (and controversial for some), but it’s undeniably a confident night-out scent that gets noticed.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Deux Cent Douze Women EDP
A sparkling, easy-going floral that's a bit of a chameleon, shifting from bright citrus to a surprisingly smooth, sweet dry-down. It's an unexpectedly versatile crowd-pleaser.
