Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - City Of Stars EDP
This is a sunny, beachy citrus with a sophisticated, powdery floral backbone. Love or hate the 'sunscreen vibe', it's a divisive but undeniably unique summer scent that captures the essence of a Californian sunset.

Our Verdict - Nectar Rouge Extrait
This perfume is a fresh, citrusy burst of joy that tragically, few people will experience because they're too busy complaining about the bottle design. It's truly a shame when the packaging overshadows the scent itself.

Built on citrus, white floral and fresh spicy - a composition that sits best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
