Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Dark Roses EDC
Don't let the name fool you - this isn't some moody, gothic rose. It's a surprisingly bright, juicy, and often photorealistic rose with a controversial fruity sweetness. Some find the opening a bit 'rotting roses', while others adore its unique garden appeal.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Sì Intense 2021 EDP
A syrupy, jammy upgrade to the original Sì, this Intense version delivers a deeper, richer blackcurrant and rose experience. While many rave about its sophistication and beast-mode performance, some find the patchouli and sweetness overwhelming.
