Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Fiori di Capri

This is a divisive one. Many find its rich, vintage floral profile 'old-fashioned' or even 'annoying'; however, for those who appreciate classic complexities, it's a 'masterpiece' and 'heaven-like'. Definitely a love-it-or-hate-it scent.

Our Verdict - Carthusia Lady

This perfume is a time capsule, embodying a classic, complex floral chypre style that feels far older than its 2011 launch. It's a love-it-or-find-it-odd scent, depending on your appreciation for old-school perfumery, and performs best in cooler weather.
