Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cacao2 EDP
This one is a real Marmite scent - you’ll either adore its dark, realistic cocoa profile or be repulsed by its earthy, almost-mouldy undertones. It’s a sophisticated gourmand for those who like their chocolate rich and bitter, not sweet and syrupy.

Marienbad by Prada is a luxurious unisex fragrance balancing warm leather notes with a rich amber heart, suitable for cooler weather and intimate settings.
