Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Deseo EDP
This much-missed J Lo gem is a real shapeshifter; one minute it's a humid, verdant rainforest, the next it's a fresh beach on a clear evening, with a surprising amount of sophistication for a celeb scent. The pickle juice note some detect proves it's not for everyone, but fans are utterly devoted.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Eau de Calandre EDT
A divisive vintage scent that embodies a paradoxical duality: simultaneously fresh and 'old school', elegant and assertive. It's not for everyone, but those who love it, really love it. If you can find a vintage bottle, go for it.
