Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lacoste EDP
This early 00s classic, now sadly discontinued in its original form, is a comforting, clean, and effortlessly elegant everyday scent. Despite its often-cited lack of longevity, its unique powdery floral and spicy suede profile continues to win hearts.
Favourite
Our Verdict - 35 Rabanne Ultraviolet EDP
35 leans on Ultraviolet's spiced apricot-and-violet heart over an amber-patchouli base, but reads noticeably quieter than Rabanne's original oriental.
