Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rumeur Eau de Parfum
This one's proper divisive. For some, it's a classy, clean floral, but for others, it's a harsh, old-fashioned nightmare of nail polish remover. Try before you buy, unless you're feeling adventurous.

Our Verdict - Lalibela Eau de Parfum
Lalibela by Memo Paris is a deeply polarising one. Some adore its creamy, sophisticated floral-gourmand sweetness, finding it addictive and elegant. Others find it dated, cloying, even plastic-like - a true love-it-or-hate-it scent.
