Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vanillary
This one is as divisive as it gets. On one hand, a creamy, buttery vanilla with a sensual jasmine edge. On the other, a rancid, urine-soaked nightmare. You either love its unique, raw character, or you're reaching for the nearest scrub brush. Try before you buy, unless you fancy a gamble.
Statement
Our Verdict - Midnight Couture Black de Minuit
This one's a head-turner, but it's not trying too hard. Midnight Couture gets heads nodding from devoted fans for its licorice-heavy, sophisticated spin on the original, though some find it a bit too similar to justify owning both. A solid pick if you like that dark, syrupy, mysterious vibe.
