Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - So Pretty Eau de Parfum

This one's a proper debate-starter. Some reckon it's a timeless, aristocratic chypre with a modern twist, while others get a whiff of cat pee or burnt chilis. If you can get your hands on a well-preserved bottle, you might just find your new signature. Just be warned, it's a love-it-or-hate-it affair.

Our Verdict - Tenue de Soiree Eau de Parfum

This "fruitchouli" is a divisive one. There's a clear 'love it or hate it' vibe, with many finding it classy and addictive, while others recoil from a synthetic, dated feel. It aims for refined elegance but lands differently on everyone's skin.

While some find it office-safe due to its refined nature, its potential for strong sillage might be too much for close quarters. It leans towards formal and date settings, with many reviewers describing it as glamorous and special occasion appropriate. Its complexity and richness make it ill-suited for casual or sport wear.
