Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aqua Vitae EDT
This one's a divisive one, isn't it? A citrus-fresh concoction by MFK that some hail as a masterpiece of sparkling sophistication, others dismiss as an overpriced, fleeting echo of basic shower gel. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with price and longevity being constant sticking points.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Mandarina Corsica EDP
This is a divisive but ultimately enchanting scent, praised for its hyper-realistic mandarin opening but criticised by some for its syrupy caramel dry-down. For others, that gourmand element is pure bliss. It's a caramel mandarin dream for some, a cloying disappointment for others, but never boring.
