Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Red Door EDT
Divisive yet iconic, Red Door is the confident, unapologetic queen of vintage florals. Expect a powerful performance, but proceed with caution - this one's a love-it-or-hate-it scent that triggers strong opinions and even stronger reactions.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Cherry Exit EDP
Cherry Exit copies Elizabeth Arden's Red Door - the same opulent, powdery floral powerhouse of rose, ylang and white flowers over sandalwood and oakmoss. The budget version softens the legendary projection, reading flatter and less aldehydic-soapy than the room-filling original.
