Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Glamourous EDP
This discontinued gem divides opinion, with some finding it a loud, overwhelming floral and others hailing it as Ralph Lauren's finest work. If you find yourself in the latter camp, prepare for a treasure hunt - good luck finding a new bottle.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Gardénia Antigua EDT
A creamy, sophisticated gardenia that promises sun-drenched elegance. While some adore its realistic floral charm and luxurious feel, others find it too fleeting or lacking a true lactonic punch. Expect a soft, ethereal take on white florals, possibly best appreciated in warmer weather.
