Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Varensia
Divisive, vintage glam with a surprisingly modern twist. This affordable chypre offers a complex journey from a bright, aldehydic opening to a mossy, powdery drydown. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but for those who get it, it's a steal.

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.
