Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Red Roses Eau de Parfum
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.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Aqua Celestia Forte Eau de Parfum
This isn't just a freshie; it’s a powerhouse. Aqua Celestia Forte boasts an invigorating citrus blast with surprising longevity, though its soapy leanings and occasional 'cleaning product' vibe mean it's not universally adored. Pricey, but many rave about its exceptional performance.
