Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Le Bain Eau de Parfum
Divisive yet adored, Joop! Le Bain is a comforting hug of vanilla and amber that often surprises with its unique almond or cherry-tobacco nuances. You'll either get cosy sophistication or a 'what the hell is that?' moment, so try before you buy.

Our Verdict - This Is Not A Blue Bottle Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper head-scratcher. A love-it-or-hate-it enigma with a split personality - fresh and clean for some, a synthetic nightmare for others. Definitely test before you buy a full bottle.
