Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Velvet Vanilla Eau de Parfum
Seriously polarising: some find it a delightful, sweet bubblegum dream, others a synthetic, cloying nightmare. If you want to smell like Hubba Bubba, you'll love it, but test it first; it's a beast that won't back down.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Nirvana Eau de Parfum
If you can find it, Nirvana is a clean, fresh, and musky tuberose that delivers good value, according to the few who've actually managed to sample it. It's frustratingly elusive, but highly praised by its rare wearers.
