Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cape Heartache Eau de Parfum

This is a seriously divisive scent. Some find it a captivating, artistic blend of forest and fruit, while others get nothing but sickly sweet pine air freshener or synthetic strawberry gone wrong. Definitely try before you buy.

Statement

Our Verdict - Paris – Édimbourg Eau de Parfum

This one's a proper grower, isn't it? Initially divisive, with some finding it 'medicinal' or 'like an old lady', it quickly wins over most, transforming into a beloved, unique woody aromatic that truly shines. Definitely a must-try before you buy, though.
