Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Python EDP
Python is a divisive beast: some adore its rich, gourmand warmth, others find it too loud and fleeting. If you love sweet, spicy chocolate, it's a nostalgic trip worth taking, but be prepared for its occasionally sharp edges.

Our Verdict - Givenchy Play Intense EDP
Givenchy Play Intense is a cult classic that vanished too soon, leaving a trail of devoted fans and a fierce aftermarket for this coffee and tonka masterpiece. It's truly a love-it-or-mourn-it scent.
