Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bamboo Harmony EDP
Bamboo Harmony is a divisive one. Many find this green tea and citrus blend to be a 'zen' spa experience, while a good few others dismiss it as an overpriced, generic freshie with woeful performance. Your mileage (and wallet) may vary.
Favourite
Our Verdict - LV132 Cactus Garden EDP
LV132 catches the bright bergamot-and-tea freshness of Cactus Garden's citrus aromatic opening well, but loses the original's distinctive dry, mineral cactus facet in a more conventional green-musk finish.
