Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Apparition
A divisive raspberry liqueur bomb that smells much pricier than it is. Some find it a bit much, others adore its unique, sweet-and-spicy character, but everyone agrees it's strong and lasting. It’s got a cult following for a reason.
Statement
Our Verdict - Queen
This perfume is a controversial crowd-pleaser; many declare it a 'La Vie Est Belle' dupe, but some find it too sweet or dated. If you want a fruity take on a beloved classic with impressive longevity, this is for you.
