Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Iris Prima Eau de Parfum
This Penhaligon's gem divides the crowd: one third rave about its unique blend of clean iris and soft leather, evoking ballet studios and vintage glamour. The rest, however, find it far too subtle, disappearing within minutes, or too simple a leather-citrus mix. Not for those who want to announce their presence, but a refined choice for personal enjoyment.

Our Verdict - Valencia Eau de Parfum
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Bottega Veneta Bottega Veneta Eau de Parfum (2011) - bergamot, jasmine and oakmoss translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.
