Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Elixir 11

This one is a proper 'love it or hate it' scent, no two ways about it. Expect compliments from its admirers and raised eyebrows from those who find its rose and patchouli combo a bit much. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

Statement

Our Verdict - Brown Orchid Rose Edition

Don't trust the listed notes- this is a softer, powdery take on Lancôme's La Vie Est Belle, and quite a popular one. It's a sweet, comforting floral that hits all the right crowd-pleasing notes without being too loud.
