Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Fleur Universelle Eau de Parfum
This one's a shapeshifter, polarizing some, enchanting others. Forget the name, it's a sophisticated, boozy-spicy embrace, not a floral display. When it hits right, it's pure luxury, but for some, it's just a bit too subtle.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Frustration Eau de Parfum
État Libre d'Orange Frustration genuinely lives up to its name, proving to be a polarising blend. While some find it a cosy, deeply satisfying gourmand with an addictive nutty vanilla, others are utterly repelled by its intensity, likening it to rancid butter, peanut butter, or even burning tyres. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, so definitely sample.
