Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Champaca Absolute Eau de Parfum
Tom Ford's Champaca Absolute is a divisive, discontinued masterpiece. Lovers adore its unique, intoxicating yellow floral aroma, while detractors find it sickly sweet, powdery, or even unpleasant. Prepare for a bold statement - this isn't for the faint of heart, but those who 'get' it are utterly enchanted.

Our Verdict - Truth or Dare by Madonna Naked Eau de Parfum
This discontinued gem is Madonna's defiant middle finger to generic celebrity scents. A divisive opening gives way to a surprisingly sophisticated, amber-rich blend that's adored by many, despite its fleeting performance for some.
