Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Hugo Woman EDP

A breezy, fruit-forward fragrance with a tomboyish twist, Hugo Woman EDP feels effortlessly modern, sparkling with juicy berries and crisp greens before settling into a soft, woody base.

Our Verdict - Southern Bloom EDP

Southern Bloom is a divisive floral-woody-powdery blend that some laud as unique and luxurious, while others dismiss it as a dated, overly sweet, or even 'urinal cake' mess. It's certainly not a safe blind buy; you'll either love its dense floral complexity or write it off completely.
