Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Red Roses EDP
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. If you crave a brutally realistic, unapologetic rose, you've found your match. But if you prefer your florals dialled down, best run a mile.

Our Verdict - French Lime Leaves EDP
Compiled from the house's own product notes: a clear nod to Jo Malone's Lime Basil & Mandarin - bergamot and petitgrain open into a lime blossom-lily-tarragon-jasmine-rose heart, resting on beeswax.
