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 - Tommy Girl Eau de Toilette
A throwback to the 90s, Tommy Girl is a divisive scent - some find it a timeless, fresh classic, others a dated, sharp reminder of school discos. Love it or hate it, you can't deny its place in perfume history. Still, it delivers a fresh, zesty punch that's hard to ignore.
