Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rumeur Eau de Parfum
This one's proper divisive. For some, it's a classy, clean floral, but for others, it's a harsh, old-fashioned nightmare of nail polish remover. Try before you buy, unless you're feeling adventurous.

Our Verdict - Crystal Flowers Eau de Parfum
This one's a Montale but not as you know it. Crystal Flowers is either a gorgeous, fresh, delicate rose or a metallic headache in a bottle. Whatever your take, it's definitely a compliment magnet, but you might need to carry a decant.
