Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Intense Pepper Eau de Parfum
This one sparks strong opinions. For some, it's a zesty, invigorating pepper bomb; for others, a harsh, synthetic scrubber. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so sample before you commit to this divisive, long-lasting aroma.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Paradise Eau de Parfum
This peppery floral has a cult following and is widely missed since its discontinuation. Paradise is a love-it-or-hate-it scent - a bold, unique fragrance that isn't for everyone, but those who love it, really love it.
