Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pure White Linen EDP
This one's a proper clean sheet of a scent, a refreshing spritz that screams 'fresh laundry on a sunny day'. While some find its crispness delightful, others reckon it's a tad too stark, even reminiscent of cleaning products or hospital disinfectant. Best for those who want to smell pristine and unapologetically fresh.

Our Verdict - Born Lovely EDP
Divisive, affordable, and often called 'boring' or 'basic', Born Lovely is the Marmite of the celebrity fragrance world. It's a clean, fresh floral that some adore for its inoffensive quality, while others find it completely forgettable or even off-putting.
