Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Delices
Divisive, alluring, and a complete tease. Delices is more than a perfume, it's a journey from medicinal cherry oddity to a sophisticated, warm embrace. It's often misunderstood, but loved intensely by those who 'get' it. Just make sure you get the EDP.

Our Verdict - Tender Francis For Women
A budget version of Cartier's Delices de Cartier - the same plump cherry up top, threaded with pink pepper and violet over a powdery amber-tonka base. Tender Francis catches the cherry-and-violet signature but the fruit reads a touch more candied and medicinal, and it fades faster than the polarising but characterful original.
