Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ricci Ricci Eau de Parfum
Ricci Ricci is a love-it-or-hate-it scent, often polarising but adored by its fans. Many consider it a unique, sassy chypre floral with a fruity twist. It's an often-discontinued but still-available gem that smells far more expensive and complex than its price tag suggests.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Boss Alive Eau de Toilette
A pleasant, inoffensive fruity-floral that's more "barely alive" than its name suggests. Whilst some find it beautiful and confidently feminine, many report it lacks impact and is entirely forgettable, even smelling synthetic. It's best thought of as a light, everyday fragrance that's unlikely to wow.
