Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Velvet Plum Eau de Parfum
Don't let the name fool you - skip the fruit aisle entirely. This is a divisive, leathery, woody, powdery enigma that some adore for its unique sophistication, while others find it just plain baffling.
Favourite
Our Verdict - China White Eau de Parfum
A truly polarising scent, China White is either a discontinued masterpiece of powdery florals and deep woods, or an unwearable, synthetic mess. It's an artistic statement that demands attention, but definitely not a safe blind buy.
