Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bossa Eau de Parfum
A Brazilian beach holiday in a bottle, Bossa is a divisive one. You'll either love its natural, clean coconut and marine notes or find it too sharp and suncream-adjacent. If you're after a high-quality tropical escape without the Tom Ford price tag, this is your ticket.

Our Verdict - Elite I Parfum
A truly gorgeous citrus-marine that promises an 'aquatic journey'. It's a clean, elegant scent best suited for those who appreciate understated sophistication and impressive longevity.
