Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Roma Eau de Parfum
Roma is a divisive classic, lauded for its unique blend of fresh mint, zesty grapefruit, and deep oriental warmth. Be warned, though, that modern formulations might not deliver the same potent punch as the vintage bottles did.

Our Verdict - Femme Eau de Parfum
Joop! Femme is a divisive, unapologetically loud 80s powerhouse. It's either a timeless, sophisticated stunner or an overwhelming, dated mess. You either get sensual incense and creamy woods, or straight-up barnyard civet. Test before you commit, this one's a wild ride.
