Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - I Don't Need A Prince By My Side To Be A Princess EDP
Don't let the eye-rolling name distract you: this is a fluffy, sweet gourmand that's divisive enough to inspire impassioned declarations of love or outright disgust. If you're a gourmand fan, it's worth a sniff, but sample first - it's not a blind buy.
Statement
Our Verdict - Dulcis in Fundo EDP
Dulcis in Fundo is one of the original creamy citrus gourmands - and it's still a banger. Some find it a bit basic now, but others swear it's the best of its kind. Expect a delightful creamsicle, just beware of batch variations in performance and some rogue sour notes.
