Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Roses & Chocolate EDP
This one sparks debate. Roses & Chocolate is a love-it-or-hate-it gourmand with an intensely realistic, sometimes synthetic-leaning, chocolate and rose combo. It’s got beast-mode projection, so definitely sample before you commit to a full bottle.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Sweet Flower EDP
A budget run at Mancera's Roses & Chocolate, Sweet Flower aims for the chocolate-dipped rose over juicy fruit and vanilla. It catches the cosy gourmand-floral idea, though some buyers find the rose and cocoa render fainter and the blend heavier than the polished original.
