Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aoud Orchid Eau de Parfum
This one's a wildcard - some find it a gorgeous, comforting tropical dream, others reckon it's a bit of a chaotic, Play-Doh-esque mess. It's truly a love-it or hate-it fragrance, definitely not a safe blind buy.

Our Verdict - Musk Al Tahara Eau de Parfum
Louis Cardin's Musk Al Tahara is a fresh, powdery musk that’s either your clean-girl dream or a bit too sterile. Definitely a love-it-or-hate-it affair, so test before you commit to this distinctive scent.
