Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Mon Paris EDP
A bright fruity floral with a chypre backbone, sweet but not heavy. Strawberry and raspberry glow up front, peony and datura soften them, and patchouli keeps it grounded. Ready for evenings out and fine by day.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Vogue Rouge EDP
Crisp green apple and lemon, a powdery violet heart and a creamy vanilla-musk finish. Polished, clean and easy to wear, and surprisingly strong.
