Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Malibu - Party in the Bay Eau de Parfum
This is a seriously divisive summery cocktail in a bottle. Folks either get a vibrant, long-lasting lime and coconut dream, or a screechy lemon cleaner that quickly disappears. Sample first, or you might end up with buyer's remorse.

Our Verdict - Tonka Eau de Parfum
This one is a divisive gem. If you're a Tonka fanatic, you'll love its warm, cosy embrace. But for some, that lack of contrast makes it a bit too much - a gourmand bomb that’s either comfort or cloying.
