Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Boss Jour Eau de Parfum
Boss Jour is a safe bet for the office or casual daywear - a pleasant, clean white floral that's fresh and inoffensive. Just don't expect it to turn any heads or last all day; its quiet charm often comes with a performance penalty.

Our Verdict - Shaft of Light Eau de Parfum
This is a clean, bright citrus floral that's either a ray of sunshine or glorified dish soap, depending on who you ask. If you're after a subtle, uplifting scent for quiet moments, this will hit the mark, but don't expect it to scream for attention.
