Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - No. 4 EDP
This 90s powerhouse is a fascinating blend of opulence and restraint. It's a scent for the bold, confident woman who isn't afraid to make an entrance, though some find it a bit too vintage for everyday wear. Love it or hate it, No. 4 demands attention.

Our Verdict - V for Women EDP
V by Clive Christian is a polarising beast, a dark, complex chypre that challenges expectations. It's not for the faint of heart, or those seeking a sweet floral everyday scent - expect an assertive, almost brooding character that demands attention, for better or worse.

Date Formal

Given its strong sillage and rich, complex profile, No. 4 is best suited for formal events and dates, where its presence can truly shine. It's generally too intense for an office setting and much too overstated for casual wear or sport.
