Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Angélique Noire EDP
A divisive yet frequently adored green vanilla, Angélique Noire balances warmth and freshness unlike anything else. While some find it too green, too powdery, or even 'celery-like', its fans hail it as a sophisticated, elegant masterpiece for a reason. Don't dismiss it until you've tried it on skin.

Our Verdict - Paisley EDP
Paisley tries to be a minimalist and modern spicy green scent, but it's a bit too 'nice' for its own good. It's perfectly pleasant and inoffensive but ultimately forgettable, often fading into a basic vanilla. Not a bad shout for a low-key daily wear, if you can forgive the weak performance.
