Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - La Violette
This is a gorgeous, pure violet that'll transport you straight to a spring garden. There's some grumbling about recent reformulations, but the original is widely hailed as a violet masterpiece - just don't expect it to last forever.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Royal Rose
This one's a proper old-school floral, no messing about. It's powdery, green, and a bit much for some, but if you love a classic rose with real presence, you'll be chuffed.
