Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Maui in a Bottle Sweet Banana I 37

This one's a proper mixed bag. You'll either get creamy tropical banana pudding bliss, or a 'toilet-like' jasmine funk that's a one-way ticket to Pungent-ville. Definitely one to try before you buy a full bottle.

Statement

Our Verdict - Star

This one's a divisive cheapie, so don't blind buy. Many adore its smoky vanilla and praline for cooler months, but a vocal minority get an off-putting 'gasoline' or 'smoke' opening. If you can get past that, it's a cozy, gourmand dream; otherwise, steer clear.
