Which Should You Buy?

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.

Statement

Our Verdict - Crushing Bloom Eau de Parfum

Tom Daxon's Crushing Bloom is a classy, green floral for the modern connoisseur. It's a fresh, uplifting bouquet with an elegant backbone, though some might find the lily a touch too intense. A definite crowd-pleaser for those who appreciate refined florals.
