Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sun Moon Stars Eau de Parfum

This 90s Sophia Grojsman classic is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. While some adore its fruity-floral pow, others find it a screeching assault, or simply an old-fashioned scrubber. The gorgeous bottle remains a universal draw.

Our Verdict - Charlie Red Eau de Parfum

Charlie Red is a quintessential 90s powerhouse floral that divides opinion. It's either an expensive-smelling, timeless classic or a screechy, dated air freshener. Love it or hate it, its strong performance and nostalgic charm are undeniable.

Its potent projection and longevity make it less suitable for the office, but perfect for casual wear, especially for a bit of 90s nostalgia or making a statement. While some find it too 'loud' for formal events, its classic floral profile could work for certain occasions, and it's certainly not a sport scent.
