Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Saint-Tropez EDP
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Lancome La Vie Est Belle (2012) - blackcurrant, iris and praline translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.

Our Verdict - Emporio Armani Diamonds Violet EDP
Seriously divisive. Some adore this sweet, fruity violet with impressive longevity, while others find it a cloying, cheap mess. Don't blind buy; your skin chemistry dictates whether it's a playful candy dream or a peculiar, synthetic flop.
