Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Van Py Rhum Eau de Parfum
This is a bold, divisive, love-it-or-hate-it vanilla bomb that swings between boozy delight and cloying overdose. If you're after a dark, sweet, and unique statement scent, this might just be your intoxicating potion, provided you can handle the intensity.

Our Verdict - de Star Eau de Toilette
This flanker is a truly polarising Mugler; a bizarre aquatic-gourmand experiment that either blows you away with its unique charm or repulses you with its 'alien dog puke' vibe. It's Angel's weird cousin who ate a whole watermelon and then rolled in a patchouli field.
