Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - de Lacoste L.12.12 Pour Elle Magnetic Eau de Toilette
This one is a divisive little fruit bomb. Some adore its sweet, tropical embrace, while others find it a cloying, headache-inducing mess. If you're after a loud, vanilla-laden mango dream, you're in for a treat; otherwise, approach with caution.

Our Verdict - Nina Fantasy Eau de Parfum
Prepare for a sugary explosion, with Nina Fantasy. Some find it a delightful, youthful indulgence, while others find it too sweet, too simple, and fleeting. It's a sweet treat that might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it certainly has its loyal fans.
