Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Dolce Rosa Excelsa EDP
This D&G flanker is divisive. Some find it a 'beautiful, simple rose' for everyday wear, others dismiss it as 'boring' and 'generic laundry detergent'. Its subtlety is either a strength or a fatal flaw.

Our Verdict - Dolce Floral Drops EDT
This one's a divisive beast. Some adore its fresh, clean simplicity, finding it a perfect everyday floral. Others dismiss it as a weak, unoriginal disappointment with poor performance, often compared to glorified fabric softener. You'll either love its gentle charm or sniff and move on.
