Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Missing Person EDP
This one's a proper divisive scent. For some, it's a nostalgic, clean skin-like hug, embodying subtle intimacy. For others, it's a weak, fleeting whisper of nothing, or worse, a peculiar smell they can't quite un-smell. Try before you buy, seriously.

Our Verdict - Secret Gardenia EDP
This one's a fresh, dewy gardenia that sidesteps the usual heavy, heady vibe. It's an easy-to-love, crowd-pleasing floral, though some find it a bit too 'shampoo-like' or not unique enough. For fans of light, airy white florals, it's a summer win.
