Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Love Intense
A truly gorgeous powdery floral that divides opinion, but those who love it truly adore it. It's a cashmere sweater in scent form, a more intense and elegant take on the original, perfect for those who appreciate a rich, mature floral with a hint of vanilla.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Esplendor
A divisive amber-vanilla that whispers 'quiet luxury.' While some find it a sublime, nostalgic embrace, others are put off by a 'dirty, musky' undertone or a 'vinegar' sharpness. Definitely one to try on your skin before committing.

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal
