Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - French Riviera EDP
This one's a proper lightning rod. For some, it's a bottled holiday, all sunkissed skin and salty air. For others, it's just a glorified sunscreen, a synthetic mess that misses the mark. It's a 'love it or leave it' affair, no two ways about it.

Our Verdict - Midnight Riviera Extrait
A potent, fresh aquatic that captures the essence of a sun-drenched coast. It's a fantastic, high-performing dupe for those who love that 'good quality suntan lotion' vibe without the high price tag, though some find it a touch synthetic.
