Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cruel Intentions EDP
This one's a proper hot mess, a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent. While some find it an intoxicating rose-oud dream, others are stuck with a plasticky, oversweet mess. Definitely try before you buy, but if it works for you, it *really* works.

Our Verdict - True Love EDP
This is a masterpiece that evokes deep self-love. For those who adore iris and honey with a waxy, powdery, slightly animalic twist, it's utter bliss. But be warned, some noses find the castoreum to be an unbearable 'wet wool' or 'industrial soap' horror.
