Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Yvresse EDP

A divisive powerhouse from the 90s, Yvresse is not for the faint of heart. It's a bold, celebratory scent many adore, but others find dated. Approach with caution, but expect sparkling, fruity richness if it clicks.

Our Verdict - Venezia EDP

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.
