Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Boss Alive
A pleasant, inoffensive fruity-floral that's more "barely alive" than its name suggests. Whilst some find it beautiful and confidently feminine, many report it lacks impact and is entirely forgettable, even smelling synthetic. It's best thought of as a light, everyday fragrance that's unlikely to wow.

Our Verdict - Syren
Prepare to be haunted by this one in the best possible way. Syren truly lives up to its name, an intoxicating floral-woody-salty blend that sticks in your mind long after you've first encountered it. Utterly unforgettable.
