Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vain & Naïve
This one's a divisive fruit bomb. Some find it a 'sexy cougar' vibe, others dub it 'nauseating' or 'basic'. If you're into a morphing fruity-floral with unexpected twists, it's worth a sniff, otherwise, tread carefully.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Empressa Hair & Body Mist
A pleasant, if somewhat divisive, hair and body mist that struggles to settle on an identity. Expect a warm, spiced fruit affair, but be prepared for some 'cooking with spices' vibes from time to time.
