Our Verdict - Do It For Love EDP

This underrated Kilian gem takes a surprisingly realistic orange blossom and petitgrain blend, delivering a clean, uplifting white floral experience. Reviews are polarised on its opening, but rave about its staying power for a fresh scent. It's a love-it-or-hate-it for some, but a 'holy grail' for others.

Our Verdict - Cucumber EDP

Don't let the name fool you - this isn't a basic, run-of-the-mill freshie. Perfumer H's Cucumber is a sophisticated, understated take on green freshness, lauded for its sheer cleverness and natural texture. It's a quiet whisper, not a shout, making it incredibly versatile, yet perhaps overlooked.
