Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Elixir Eau de Parfum
This mature, creamy cherry-rose with an earthy twist is a bit of a chameleon, working for day or night. It's not a beast-mode projector, but it is a subtle charmer that’ll keep you (and admirers) coming back for more.

Our Verdict - Very Irresistible Givenchy L’Intense Eau de Parfum
This one's a bold-as-brass, dark rose and plum affair. It's got serious staying power and a seductive aura, but some folks find it a bit too much, almost 'bugspray-ish' in the opening. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of intense, so don't blind buy.
