Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Navy
Navy is a divisive one. For some, it's a nostalgic trip to a warm, ambery past; for others, a harsh, dated misstep. If you skipped it in the 90s, you might struggle with its intense, powdery opening, but give it time - the dry-down often wins people over. Best to try before you commit.
Statement
Our Verdict - Nirvana
If you can find it, Nirvana is a clean, fresh, and musky tuberose that delivers good value, according to the few who've actually managed to sample it. It's frustratingly elusive, but highly praised by its rare wearers.

However, its warm, musky-spicy dry-down and sensual nature are well-suited for dates and cooler-weather casual outings, with some finding it appropriate for formal events if applied lightly.
