Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Velvet Coffee Eau de Parfum
Don't let the name fool you - this ain't your average mocha. Velvet Coffee is a spicy, woody, and earthy affair that some will find moodily captivating, while others will be left scratching their heads, wondering where the actual coffee is. A true 'try before you buy' given its divisive nature.
Statement
Our Verdict - Cafe Gourmand Eau de Parfum
This one's a mixed bag. Some find it a sophisticated, creamy coffee dream, while others get a metallic, sharp, or even medicinal scent. Definitely a 'try before you buy' situation, as skin chemistry is a big player here.
