Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Carat Eau de Parfum
Carat is a divisive one: some adore its sparkling, fresh floral bouquet, others find it too sharp, synthetic, or just plain boring. If you fancy a spring garden in a bottle, give it a go, but expect a mixed bag of opinions.

Our Verdict - Sakura Eau de Parfum
Sakura is a delicate floral that evokes spring's ephemeral beauty, though many reckon it's a bit pricey for a scent that's often compared to more affordable options. It's a clean, serene crowd-pleaser, but don't expect it to shout; this one whispers.
