Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cloud Musk
This affordable gem is a divisive scent experience: some find it a fluffy, clean, woody musk; others get straight-up pencil shavings. Performance is the biggest grumble, with many wishing its soft, comforting embrace would last longer than an hour or two.

Our Verdict - Iris Shot
This isn't just an iris, it's a 'shot' of elegant, grown-up almond-iris. Divisive for some who crave classic powdery iris, but a sophisticated, creamy dream for those who want something unique and restrained.
