Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Killing Me Slowly Eau de Parfum
A divisive aldehydic floral with a devoted fanbase who adore its sweet, powdery charm, but a significant minority can't get past a very unusual opening. For those who get it, it's addictive, classy, and commands compliments.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Alive Now Eau de Parfum
This Raspberry and Lychee bomb is a crowd-pleaser for those who love bright, sweet-tart fruitiness. It's affordable, powerful, and a must-try for any fan of fruity florals, though some find it a touch artificial or astringent initially.
