Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Fidji Eau de Toilette
This legendary green floral is a time capsule, evocative of a certain era. Whether it's a nostalgic trip or a fresh discovery, Fidji is a quintessential classic despite reformulations dampening its original strength. A love-it-or-leave-it kind of scent thanks to its distinct vintage vibe.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Velvet Rouge Eau de Parfum
Velvet Rouge is a surprisingly sophisticated, dark red rose for the price. Not a sweet pink number, this is a grown-up, elegant scent for those who appreciate a realistic, deep rose, albeit with performance that could be better.
