Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Adonis Awakens
This one's a divisive one, blending fresh rose with a sweet, almost laundry-like quality that some adore and others find rather synthetic. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent, so definitely sample before you commit.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Candid Tonight
A polarizing but often adored dupe, Candid Tonight nails the honeyed cherry and tuberose vibe of its discontinued inspiration. Performance can be a bit hit or miss, so you'll either be bathed in luxurious warm sweetness or wishing for more oomph.
