Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rebelle EDP
Rebelle is one of those divisive beasts you either adore or absolutely loathe. When it works, it's a luscious, boozy gourmand. When it doesn't, it's a muddy, patchouli-laden mess. Definitely try before you buy this one.
Statement
Our Verdict - No.072 Black XS EDP
No.072 chases the tart cranberry-tamarind opening and rose-cacao heart of Black XS for Her, landing close on the fruity-gourmand character but rendering the woody vanilla base noticeably flatter and less lingering than Rabanne's original.
