Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ed Hardy Hearts & Daggers EDP
Hearts & Daggers is pure Y2K nostalgia in a bottle, perfect for reliving your glory days. It's a deliciously fruity and playful scent that's a crowd-pleaser for those who adore tropical vibes, though some find its longevity maddeningly brief. Don't expect groundbreaking complexity, but do expect a fun, juicy ride.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Core EDP
Core copies Ed Hardy Hearts & Daggers for Her - the same lively apple, blood orange and tropical mango over a soft musky-woody base. The budget version captures the fruity-fresh fun but reads flatter and sharper, with the fruits turning a touch more synthetic.
