Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Carat EDP
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 - Paris Premieres Roses 2016 EDT
A truly lovely, elegant rose scent with a freshness that sets it apart. While some lament the bottle design and perceive it as diluted, for many it's a cherished spring go-to that perfectly blends classic rose with modern charm.
