Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Flower Ikebana Sakura EDP
This flanker is a gorgeous, airy floral that charms most wearers. While some find its performance a bit too soft, its elegance and comforting warmth make it a real crowd-pleaser.

Our Verdict - Hugo Urban Journey EDT
Divisive. Some reckon it's a solid, unique daily driver with a distinctive tea note, while others dismiss it as forgettable and generic, with performance that's a bit of a joke. Try before you buy, obviously, but don't expect miracles.
