Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sensuous Noir Eau de Parfum

A truly divisive, love-it-or-hate-it scent. Sensuous Noir is a bold, dark rebel from Estee Lauder, packing a huge pine-patchouli punch. An evening showstopper that's unapologetically strong.

Our Verdict - There's a Place Eau de Parfum

Francesca Dell'Oro's "There's a Place" is a seriously classy, sophisticated rose that sidesteps any 'granny' or 'girly' tropes. It's an astounding, confident gem that whispers elegance rather than screams, earning it universal praise for its refined character.

Its sophisticated rose and warm spicy accords, coupled with reported good sillage and longevity, make it perfect for date nights and formal events. While too elegant for casual wear or sport, it's refined enough for a professional setting if applied sparingly.
