Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - April Violets Fragrance Mist EDP
This one is a real wild card. Some love its green violet charm, while others find its opening a bit... well, 'bug spray'. Definitely a warm weather wonder; steer clear when it's chilly unless you fancy smelling like you've been wrestling aphids.

Our Verdict - Eau de Lacoste L.12.12 Pour Elle Elegant EDP
A perfectly pleasant, if unremarkable, fresh-floral that evokes clean linen and summer days. It's broadly liked as an everyday scent, though some find it a bit too generic to be truly 'elegant'.
