Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Symphony EDP
Symphony smells glorious, but you'll need deep pockets and a high tolerance for simplicity. It's a crowd-pleasing citrus bomb, polarising some with its price tag and basic profile, but enchanting others with its sheer quality and shocking longevity for a freshie. Most agree it's fantastic but not worth the price.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Golden Times EDT
A vibrant, uplifting citrus with a peppy ginger kick. It's a fresh, crowd-pleasing scent that's hard to dislike, perfect for injecting some optimism into your day.
