Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ex'cla-ma'tion Eau de Parfum
This 80s icon is a polarising scent, loved fiercely by some for its peachy, powdery comfort and reviled by others as a chemical mess. It's a cheap and cheerful nostalgia trip for many, but definitely not a safe blind buy today.
Statement
Our Verdict - Venezia Eau de Parfum
A legendary, much-missed 90s powerhouse, Venezia is a complex, opulent fruity-amber scent that inspires fierce loyalty and nostalgia. Modern reformulations might miss the mark, but the vintage original is a rare and beloved masterpiece.
