Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Want Eau de Parfum
This vanilla-heavy scent stirs up some serious debate. For some, it's a comforting, sophisticated dream; for others, it's a generic letdown. Expect a strong vanilla presence, but prepare for it to wear differently on everyone.

Our Verdict - de Protection Eau de Toilette
This isn't your grandma's rose. Eau de Protection is a divisive, gothic, metallic-edged rose that some adore for its unique bold character, while others find it unsettling or just plain weird. Definitely sample first, it's a love-it-or-hate-it affair.
