Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Love in Black Eau de Parfum
This polarizing violet-centric fragrance is either a dark, sweet, and sensual masterpiece or smells like burnt plastic, rubber, and regret. There's no middle ground, so sample first unless you're feeling adventurous.

Our Verdict - Iris Eau de Parfum
This is a clean, ethereal iris that’s got the community divided. It’s delicate, softly powdery, and a bit green, but don't expect a powerhouse performance. A refined, understated choice that’s surprisingly addictive, if you can get past its shy nature.
