Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pleasures Exotic
Pleasures Exotic is a vibrant, fruity-floral that screams summer holiday. People either love its juicy, tropical vibe, or they get an unpleasant metallic or 'celery' note. Be warned: older bottles are notorious for turning rancid, so buy new if you can find one.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Torride
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Many found it a unique, fresh citrus with a twist, perfect for summer. Others, however, considered it a 'scrubber', bringing on headaches and nausea with its intense, bitter green notes.
