Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ivoire Eau de Parfum

If you're after a clean, sophisticated, soapy scent that exudes timeless elegance without screaming for attention, Ivoire is an absolute gem. A real love-it-or-hate-it for some; for others, it's a classy office staple that evokes pure comfort. Prepare to search for it, though - this beauty's been cruelly discontinued.

Our Verdict - Derby Eau de Parfum

Derby is a complex beast, with significant batch variations causing a love-it-or-hate-it divide among users. When it hits right, it's a unique, classy green dream. When it misses, it's a frustratingly faint echo of its potential. Try before you buy, if you can.
