Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sofia Eau de Parfum

A modern classic that punches well above its weight, Sofia is a crowd-pleaser for good reason. It's lush, luxurious, and unexpectedly sophisticated for a celebrity fragrance, though some find it a bit too mature or just not quite right for their skin.

Favourite

Our Verdict - Black Eau de Parfum

This one is a divisive little number. Some adore its comforting familiarity, others find it a bit dated and soapy. Expect a fruity-floral vibe that leans a touch unisex.
