Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar | 42 EDP
This is a love-it-or-hate-it gourmand vanilla, absolutely bursting with candy-sweetness. It's divisive, but fans rave about its elevated, 'grown-up' take on bubblegum and marshmallow, whilst detractors find it cloying and juvenile. If you crave intense sugar, this serves it up by the bucketload.
Statement
Our Verdict - Queen EDP
Louis Cardin's Queen is a calorie-free gourmand treat. It's a sweet, playful scent that delivers exactly what it promises - an indulgent blend of creamy apple and caramel, destined to please anyone with a sweet tooth.
