Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - X For Women EDP
Divisive, expensive, and often compared to Gucci Rush. If you want a more refined, longer-lasting version of that iconic scent with a hefty price tag, this is your jam. Otherwise, you might find it an overpriced disappointment.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Parlando For Women EDP
A budget read of Sospiro's Accento - that striking pineapple-and-iris floral over a musky vetiver base, fresh yet sophisticated. Parlando keeps the bold fruity-floral opening and linear musky drydown but pushes the pineapple brighter and lets the iris and vetiver nuance sit flatter than the niche original. An easy, elegant fruity-floral for a fraction of the price.
