Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Musk Sugar Plum Eau de Parfum
This musky plum scent is a divisive blind buy. Some love its clean, powdery sweetness and cozy vibes, others find it leans too much into cleaning product territory or a "baby powder bomb." Don't expect a nuanced gourmand, but rather a straightforward, sweet fruity musk that's often described as a skin scent with moderate performance.
Statement
Our Verdict - Girlfriend Eau de Parfum
This perfume is pure Nostalgia-Bait. If you're a Belieber who wants to relive your teen years, 'Girlfriend' delivers a blast of fruity-sweet memories. For everyone else, it's a generic, if pleasant, blast of celebrity-scent banality.
