Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black XS L'Exces EDP
This one's a divisive banger; you'll either get grape bubblegum and good times, or Windex and disappointment. When it lands, though, it's a confident, sexy head-turner that lasts ages and pulls compliments. An absolute shame it's discontinued.

Our Verdict - Fragile EDP
This isn't 'Fragile' at all. It's a bold, spicy tuberose with serious vintage glamour, best worn when you want to make a statement. Prepare for compliments; just don't expect a delicate flower.
