Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ekhtiari Eau de Parfum
This juicy fruity floral fragrance is a crowd-pleaser, delivering bright, sweet notes and a luxurious feel. While some find it overwhelmingly sweet or soapy, many praise its timeless blend and potent performance. A strong maceration period can transform it from an 'iffy' blind buy to a genuine love.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Velvet Vanilla Eau de Parfum
Seriously polarising: some find it a delightful, sweet bubblegum dream, others a synthetic, cloying nightmare. If you want to smell like Hubba Bubba, you'll love it, but test it first; it's a beast that won't back down.
