Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vain & Naïve

This one's a divisive fruit bomb. Some find it a 'sexy cougar' vibe, others dub it 'nauseating' or 'basic'. If you're into a morphing fruity-floral with unexpected twists, it's worth a sniff, otherwise, tread carefully.

Our Verdict - The Player 2

This one's a bold fruit bomb with a woody backbone, a proper compliment-getter that's a bit of a chameleon. Some love its playful charm, others find it too much - definitely try before you buy.
