Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - The Jewel of Desert Extrait

This one's a bit of a gamble, mind. If you're after a lush, sweet fruit cocktail with an earthy edge, it could be your jackpot. But if patchouli rubs you up the wrong way, you might find yourself heartbroken.

Our Verdict - Pleasures Delight Eau de Parfum

A divisive Estée Lauder gourmand from yesteryear that's surprisingly sophisticated for its notes. Some find it a balanced 'fruitchouli', while others are put off by a strong patchouli opening and find it turns sickly or artificial on their skin. A proper love-it-or-hate-it.
