Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Paula's Ibiza EDP
Divisive, unique, and destined to be missed, Paula's Ibiza has achieved cult status. It's a green, woody tropical escape for those bold enough to embrace its bitterness, not a sunscreen-soaked cliché. Grab a bottle before it's gone for good.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Shrub of Asia EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Iris Patchouli - a powdery fragrance led by Coconut, Violet Leaf, with woody depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.
