Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Love in Black Eau de Parfum
This polarizing violet-centric fragrance is either a dark, sweet, and sensual masterpiece or smells like burnt plastic, rubber, and regret. There's no middle ground, so sample first unless you're feeling adventurous.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Rose of Dreams Eau de Parfum
This fresh, green, and peppery rose might just be your new signature. It's a clean, elegant scent that's far from dusty despite hints of powder, though you do have to love rose to truly appreciate it.

Occasions

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions
