Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 900 Eau de Parfum

This one is a seriously divisive piece of kit. You'll either get a gorgeous, potent blast of old-school class, or it'll smell like an elderly relative's bathroom. Love-it-or-hate-it, but if you love it, you'll love it hard for its unique character.

Our Verdict - Velvet Rouge Eau de Parfum

Velvet Rouge is a surprisingly sophisticated, dark red rose for the price. Not a sweet pink number, this is a grown-up, elegant scent for those who appreciate a realistic, deep rose, albeit with performance that could be better.

Its bold, long-lasting projection makes it a bit much for the office. However, the rich, sophisticated notes and animalic undertones make it fantastic for dates and formal events, though some find it a bit too old-school for everyday casual wear.
