Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Musky Garden Eau de Parfum

This one is a real Marmite, love-it-or-hate-it contender, though most people lean towards 'love'. It promises a fruity floral but often delivers an unapologetic musk-patchouli punch. If you're a fan of beast-mode fragrances with a grown-up fruity twist, this is a must-try. Don't blind buy unless you live for musk.

Our Verdict - Dark Purple Eau de Parfum

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, polarizing opinions like a marmite sandwich. Those who love it revel in its beast-mode plum and rose, while detractors recoil from its synthetic, metallic edge. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so sample before you commit.
