Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Starry Nights EDP
This one's a proper beast - you'll either love its intense rose-musk-apple bomb or find it a synthetic headache. It's divisive, loud, and definitely not for the faint-hearted, but for those who get it, it's a unique, compliment-pulling superstar.

Our Verdict - Chypre Charnel EDP
Chypre Charnel splits opinion: some hail it as a masterclass in modern chypre, sophisticated and sensual, while others find its fruitiness too prominent, missing the genre's classic bite and smelling 'pestilential'. It's certainly a grown-up take on fruity chypres, but not for everyone.
