Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Diamonds and Rubies
This Sophia Grojsman masterpiece can be divisive, often requiring patience to get past a tricky opening. Those who connect with it find a surprisingly rich, warm, and sophisticated floral-fruity, ideal for cooler weather and offering incredible value.

Our Verdict - Marjan Gold
Surprisingly leathery despite the listed notes, this is a smooth, saffron-drenched scent. It's a classy crowd-pleaser that reviewers adore for its quality, especially at the price point. Expect moderate projection and decent longevity with this one.
