Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Brilliant Wish
A divisive scent, Brilliant Wish splits opinion between those charmed by its elegant sparkle and others put off by an odd rubbery note. Some find it a chic, understated gem for a bargain price, while others dismiss it as a forgettable "basic cheapie" that falls flat on the skin.

Our Verdict - 5th Avenue NYC Dream
A pleasant, if somewhat unremarkable, floral woody scent that's a safe bet for everyday wear. Don't expect fireworks, but it's a solid, affordable choice that manages to be both dreamy and versatile.

Date

Given its light projection and moderate longevity, Brilliant Wish is well-suited for office and casual wear as it won't overpower. The elegant, soft floral and amber profile also makes it a good choice for dates, though it might lack the 'wow' factor for formal events.
