Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - In the City of Sin EDP
This one is a real head-scratcher and a classic case of 'your mileage may vary'. It's either an enchanting spicy fruit dream or a cloying, awkward mess. Best to try before you buy, unless you enjoy fragrant Russian roulette.

Our Verdict - Sirène Privée EDT
Sirène Privée is a love-it-or-hate-it fragrance that captures attention but polarises opinion. It charms with its sweet, spicy cherry opening, yet often sours in the dry down, leaving many sighing in disappointment.
