Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rare Reef Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper head-turner, though divisive. Some reckon it's a stellar, beast-mode citrus freshie, but beware: the synthetic edge and potential for an overpowering amber-musk drydown means it's not for everyone. Hype often leads to heartbreak here, so try before you buy.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Herbae Eau de Parfum
Divisive, fresh, and surprisingly fruity for a 'green' scent. Those expecting a true herbal blast will be disappointed, but if you're after a tart, dewy blackberry with a clean, grassy finish, this could be your summer anthem. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of vibe.
