Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Elixir Pour Elle

This one's a proper grower. Initially, it can be a bit 'in your face', but give it some time to mature - seriously, it needs patience. What starts as a loud, peppery blast mellows into a genuinely sophisticated, sweet gourmand with a surprising depth that rivals pricier niche scents.

Our Verdict - Black Sesame

This one is a divisive but intriguing floral gourmand. Some rave it's an addictive, compliment-getting marvel; others find its performance just alright, leaving them on the fence about a full bottle. Definitely sample it to see if it grabs you.
