Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - City Of Stars Eau de Parfum
This is a sunny, beachy citrus with a sophisticated, powdery floral backbone. Love or hate the 'sunscreen vibe', it's a divisive but undeniably unique summer scent that captures the essence of a Californian sunset.

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.
