Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - the Fragrance EDP
This is a divisive one. For some, it's a 'basic' fruity floral that's a bit too soapy or synthetic. But for its fans, it's a dependable, crowd-pleasing blend of sweet fruit, soft rose, and a touch of suede that lasts and lasts.

Our Verdict - Sexy Ruby EDP
This one is a real love-it-or-hate-it. While some adore its boozy, fruity-rose embrace, others find it shockingly bad, smelling cheap, medicinal, or like stale rosé. Definitely try before you buy, but for the right chemistry, it's a sensual gem.
