Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Violet Blonde EDP
A divisive yet beloved scent, Violet Blonde is pure glamour-puss vibes. Some find it a bold, sexy masterpiece, while others are put off by a 'harsh' opening or a prominent 'old-fashioned' powdery violet. It's a snatched-wig moment of sophistication.

Our Verdict - No.404 Paris EDP
Eden's No.404 chases YSL Paris's iconic rose-violet bouquet - a bright, green-tinged rose over a powdery violet heart. It's a fair likeness of the classic's opening hours but thins out sooner, missing some of the original's rich, honeyed depth as it dries down.
