Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Fig & Lotus Flower EDP
This aquatic floral is a polarizing pick-me-up. Some find it a refreshing, clean fig, perfect for hot days. Others, however, are put off by its green or citrusy facets, leading to a 'love it or leave it' divide. Expect Jo Malone's usual fleeting performance.
Favourite
Our Verdict - 357 Hugo Boss Ma Vie EDP
357 follows Boss Ma Vie's soft freesia-and-rose heart over a clean woody base, but comes across noticeably plainer than Hugo Boss's original.
