Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Plein Soleil
Plein Soleil can be divisive, with its creamy tuberose either charming wearers or delivering headaches. If you love a bright, sweet floral that feels high-end without the price tag, this could be your new go-to. Just don't expect it to last for days.

Our Verdict - NU SO DE
NU SO DE is a fascinatingly divisive scent. Some call it an intoxicating tuberose masterpiece, a 'skin-like' enhancer that smells effortlessly clean and naturally good. Others find it screechy, chemical, or headache-inducing, fading fast into nothingness. You absolutely must try it yourself.
