Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aqua Vitae Forte Eau de Parfum
This one's a wildcard. Some rave about its unique citrus-spice creaminess, calling it a masterpiece. Others recoil, picking up on a cloying sweetness, or finding it too masculine/feminine. Definitely a try-before-you-buy situation, but its potent sillage ensures you'll make an impression.

Our Verdict - Palazzo Eau de Parfum
Palazzo is a divisive stunner; it’s either a discontinued masterpiece of sophisticated citrus and wood or a synthetic scrubber with a dodgy dry-down. If your skin plays nice, it’s a luxurious statement, if not, it’s a scrubber.
