Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Violet Noir EDP
This 'dark fruity' scent is a real mixed bag. Some revel in its sultry depth and surprising quality for the price, while others find it cheap, synthetic, and fleeting. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, so try before you buy.
Statement
Our Verdict - One & Only EDP
A captivating fragrance with a warm spicy opening and a rich floral heart transitioning into a woody base.
