Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - des Baux Eau de Toilette
This one's a legendary cheapie, offering niche-level comfort at a high-street price, though its longevity causes a bit of mither. A cold-weather marvel with devoted fans, it's a must-try for anyone after a warm, spicy vanilla with a proper twist.

Our Verdict - Luna Rossa Extreme Eau de Parfum
This discontinued gem is a bona fide masterpiece, provoking cries for its return and commanding exorbitant prices on the secondary market. If you can snag a bottle, you're in for a spicy, ambery ride that splits opinions with its peppery opening but wins hearts with its sophisticated dry-down.

Autumn Winter
