Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Polaire EDT
This unpretentious gem offers surprising depth for its price tag. It's a crowd-pleaser for those who appreciate understated elegance, though don't expect a beast mode projector. Give it time to bloom; the initial spray can be misleading.

Our Verdict - Gucci Guilty Platinum EDP
This one's a bit of an odd duck - some reckon it's a 'more clinical' take on the original Guilty, others find it a 'cozy' scent, but with poor projection. It's divisive, but for those who love it, it's a signature, almost 'grey and lace-y' experience.
