Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Fracas EDP
Fracas is the OG tuberose, a monumental, polarising fragrance that's either 'sex in a bottle' or cloying dated hairspray, depending on your skin and the day. Don't blind buy, but give this queen a respect she deserves.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Carolina Herrera EDP
This is a seriously elegant tuberose powerhouse. If you're a fan of rich, heady florals, this limited-edition gem is a must-try. Lovers of tuberose will be absolutely smitten - it's pure floral indulgence.
