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 - Kaiak Eau de Parfum
This one's a Brazilian classic, known to everyone but also considered a bit 'been there, done that'. It's super fresh and energising, a perfect grab-and-go for hot weather, though some argue it's best left to the teens.
