Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rouge Trafalgar Eau de Parfum
Rouge Trafalgar is a high-end fruit bomb that's sadly divisive. Many find it too generic for its price, whilst others adore its elevated, tart berry profile. It’s a love-it-or-hate-it affair, particularly when factoring in the performance.

Our Verdict - Mandarino Cologne
This eau de cologne is happiness in a bottle, delivering an incredibly realistic, juicy mandarin hit. It's a fleeting moment of joy, though; for most, the low longevity is the only real sticking point from an otherwise beloved Ellena creation.
