Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - de Rochas Eau de Toilette
A divisive citrus classic, Eau de Rochas splits opinion with its sharp, vintage charm. Some find it a refreshing summer essential, while others are put off by its 'old-school' or 'masculine' edge. Love it or hate it, it's certainly got character.

Our Verdict - Illuminé Eau de Parfum
A truly pretty and refined scent, Illuminé is a bright and elegant aromatic floral that’s perfect for springtime. It leans feminine but is easily unisex for those who appreciate sophisticated freshness.
