Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - SJP NYC Eau de Parfum

SJP NYC is a vibrant, divisive celebrity scent; some adore its jammy strawberry-booze cocktail, others recoil from what they perceive as artificial sweetness and a lack of sophistication. It's a proper love-it-or-hate-it kind of fragrance, so try before you buy.

Our Verdict - Jeu d'Amour l'Elixir Eau de Parfum

Kenzo's Jeu d'Amour l'Elixir is a divisive one. You'll either find it a sexy, boozy, blackberry jam dream, or a forgettable, overly sweet, cough syrup concoction. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so test it on your skin first.

Also Works:
