Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Grand Amour Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's a 'grand' floral masterpiece - a melancholic, sensual, and complex brew. For others, it's an overpowering old-fashioned headache in a bottle. Sample before committing, no two skins wear it the same.
Statement
Our Verdict - Cross of Asia Eau de Parfum
This is a gorgeous, classy white and yellow floral, providing it aligns with your skin's chemistry. Some find it a bit sharp or even "pissy" on their skin, but for many, it's a balanced, luxurious experience.
