Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pleasures Delight Eau de Parfum
A divisive Estée Lauder gourmand from yesteryear that's surprisingly sophisticated for its notes. Some find it a balanced 'fruitchouli', while others are put off by a strong patchouli opening and find it turns sickly or artificial on their skin. A proper love-it-or-hate-it.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Karat Eau de Parfum
Karat by Maison Alhambra is a divisive fruity musk with a huge following. Some rave about its fresh, bright fruitiness and impressive performance after maceration, while others find it fleeting or too close to existing popular scents. It's a risk, but the payoff for some is huge.
