Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sexy Ruby EDP
This one is a real love-it-or-hate-it. While some adore its boozy, fruity-rose embrace, others find it shockingly bad, smelling cheap, medicinal, or like stale rosé. Definitely try before you buy, but for the right chemistry, it's a sensual gem.

Our Verdict - Nectar d'Issey Première Fleur EDP
This Issey Miyake flanker is a divisive one. You'll either love its fresh, fruity florals or find it a synthetic, overwhelming mess. Best sniffed before you splurge, but for those who get it, it's a delightful everyday floral.
