Which Should You Buy?
A divisive tribute to the spicy carnation, Malmaison is a powerhouse of clove and floral depth. It's not for everyone - some find it regal and bold, others too sharp or even 'sickly' - but it leaves a lasting impression.
A truly gorgeous rose-oud combination, Sun Drop is an easy wear that brings warmth and sophistication. It may not break new ground but it does what it does exceptionally well, exuding a luxurious warmth that makes it a consistent crowd-pleaser.
