Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Intrusion
Don't let the name Intrusion fool you - this is a clean, fresh floral that's delightfully non-intrusive. It's a consensus crowd-pleaser for those who adore bright, understated elegance, though some find it a bit too subtle for their taste.

Our Verdict - Shaft of Light
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.
