Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Papavero Soave EDP
Prepare for a proper powerhouse, because this isn't your average sweet floral. Papavero Soave is a deeply polarising, unapologetically intense scent, packed with sweet, boozy, and often surprising twists. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but never dull.
Favourite
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.
