Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Afaq Eau de Parfum
Divisive only on performance, this scent is otherwise a crowd-pleasing, airy white floral with a soft fruity opening and a beautifully rounded base. It's a fantastic value, everyday delight, if you get a good batch.

Our Verdict - Peche Cardinal Eau de Parfum
A truly divisive modern classic: Peche Cardinal swings from glorious, juicy peach to synthetic bubblegum depending on who you ask (and to be fair, what kind of peach you are expecting). If you're after a luxurious, clean fruity floral, it might just be your new obsession. If not, best steer clear. The price point is another point of contention, so sample first.
