Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ferocious EDP

Don't let the name fool you, there's nothing 'ferocious' about Louis Cardin's Ferocious Rosse. This is a pleasingly long-lasting, deep floral with just enough citrus to keep it fresh. It's a crowd-pleaser that delivers solid performance without any sharp edges.

Our Verdict - Violet EDP

This limited-edition Marc Jacobs gem is a captivating sweet violet dream. It's a powdery, creamy vanilla-violet blend that many adore, though some find it a little too saccharine or reminiscent of baby shampoo. A well-loved, gently sweet-talker.
