Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cheirosa '40 EDP
This is a love-it-or-hate-it beast, and honestly, the hate often smells like pure vomit or public toilets. If you're lucky, you'll get a juicy plum and vanilla dream, but beware the medicinal alcohol and synthetic sweetness.
Statement
Our Verdict - Monica Extrait
This one is a divisive floral-fruity scent. Some call it an ethereal, feminine dream, others find the opening harsh and a bit 'designer' for its price. If you can get past the initial litchi blast, it might just be the delicate yet powerful peony you've been searching for.
