Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - DKNY Be Tempted Eau de Parfum

This one's a proper "love-it-or-hate-it" affair. Some reckon Be Tempted is a hidden gem with a truly unique red berry and licorice twist, while others find it a synthetic, syrupy headache waiting to happen. You'll either adore its seductive depth or be utterly put off by its sweetness.

Statement

Our Verdict - Pleasures Delight Eau de Parfum

A divisive Estée Lauder gourmand from yesteryear that's surprisingly sophisticated for its notes. Some find it a balanced 'fruitchouli', while others are put off by a strong patchouli opening and find it turns sickly or artificial on their skin. A proper love-it-or-hate-it.
