Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black XS L'Exces EDP
This one's a divisive banger; you'll either get grape bubblegum and good times, or Windex and disappointment. When it lands, though, it's a confident, sexy head-turner that lasts ages and pulls compliments. An absolute shame it's discontinued.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
