Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Journey Eau de Parfum
Journey is a deeply divisive scent; some will adore its fresh, clean floral character as a signature, while others find its aquatic sweetness old-fashioned and headache-inducing. It's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Ming Shu Fleur Rare Eau de Parfum
This YR classic is a divisive aquatic floral, either a watery dream or a sharp, uninspired mess. Expect gentle peace or a 'meh' experience, depending on your nose.
