Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Dark Purple Eau de Parfum

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, polarizing opinions like a marmite sandwich. Those who love it revel in its beast-mode plum and rose, while detractors recoil from its synthetic, metallic edge. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so sample before you commit.

Our Verdict - Si Eau de Toilette

This EDT flanker is a divisive one, splitting opinion between those who find it a lighter, fresher take on the original, and those who feel it loses the EDP's magic, becoming generic. It's discontinued now, much to the chagrin of its ardent fans.
