Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ex'cla-ma'tion Eau de Parfum
This 80s icon is a polarising scent, loved fiercely by some for its peachy, powdery comfort and reviled by others as a chemical mess. It's a cheap and cheerful nostalgia trip for many, but definitely not a safe blind buy today.
Statement
Our Verdict - True Love Eau de Parfum
This Sophia Grojsman creation is a divisive one, sparking strong reactions from 'love it' to 'hate it'. If you're after a clean, powdery, Nivea-esque scent for quiet cosy moments, this budget-friendly classic might just be your True Love. But beware, some find it sharp, synthetic, or even reminiscent of baby wipes or bleach.
