Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rare Reef
This one's a proper head-turner, though divisive. Some reckon it's a stellar, beast-mode citrus freshie, but beware: the synthetic edge and potential for an overpowering amber-musk drydown means it's not for everyone. Hype often leads to heartbreak here, so try before you buy.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Jean Lowe Vibe
A divisive but often-loved dupe of a luxury scent, Jean Lowe Vibe is surprisingly good for the price if you can overlook its synthetic edge and short lifespan. Expect a blast of citrus and mint, followed by a sweeter, fruity drydown that doesn't overstay its welcome.
