Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Boss Alive Eau de Toilette

A pleasant, inoffensive fruity-floral that's more "barely alive" than its name suggests. Whilst some find it beautiful and confidently feminine, many report it lacks impact and is entirely forgettable, even smelling synthetic. It's best thought of as a light, everyday fragrance that's unlikely to wow.

Our Verdict - Pure White Linen Eau de Parfum

This one's a proper clean sheet of a scent, a refreshing spritz that screams 'fresh laundry on a sunny day'. While some find its crispness delightful, others reckon it's a tad too stark, even reminiscent of cleaning products or hospital disinfectant. Best for those who want to smell pristine and unapologetically fresh.
