Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - La Voie
This is a ridiculously sweet bubblegum tuberose bomb, an unapologetic crowd-pleaser that nails that My Way DNA without the hefty price tag. It's divisive, though; some find it headache-inducing, while others can't get enough of its playful charm.

Our Verdict - Minerva
This one's a proper head-scratcher. Some swear it's a luscious white floral, others are utterly repulsed by a 'wet cigarette' note. It's a journey, apparently- you'll either love how it macerates into a creamy dream, or chuck it in the bin after a few months. Definitely not a safe blind buy, as it polarises opinions like nothing else.
