Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vanille & Narcisse
A truly divisive modern classic: some find it a gorgeous, comforting vanilla with a floral twist, others struggle with its balsamic, smoky, or even synthetic facets. This one's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, so prepare for strong opinions.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Little Black Dress
If you're after a budget-friendly dupe that delivers on a smooth, sweet fruity rose with an almondy kick, this is it. It's an easy win, universally pleasing and genuinely deserves the hype it gets.
