Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Psychedelic Love EDP
A truly divisive fragrance, Psychedelic Love can be either an intoxicating, sexy masterpiece or a cloying, 'grandma'-scented headache. If you're willing to take the trip, sample it first - the pay-off is immense for many.
Acquired
Our Verdict - World EDP
A budget take on Guerlain Samsara, that creamy sandalwood-and-jasmine oriental classic. World captures the lush jasmine heart and the warm sandalwood-vanilla drydown, but the Mysore-sandalwood richness reads thinner and more synthetic, and it projects more modestly than the original.
