Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Hypnotic Poison Eau de Toilette
A decadent wave of vanilla and almond with creamy coconut and a powdery, balsamic veil. Hypnotic Poison is a sweet, sensuous, and unmistakably feminine classic that intoxicates and comforts in equal measure.
Statement
Our Verdict - Sotto Voce Eau de Parfum
A beloved 90s classic, Sotto Voce is desperately missed by its dedicated fanbase. This 'irresistible whisper' of peach, wood, and vanilla is universally adored but sadly impossible to find at a fair price. Bring it back, Laura Biagiotti!
