Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sara Eau de Parfum
An absolute blind-buy gem for gourmand lovers. Sara is a deceptively simple sweet rose that develops into something far more complex and addictive on skin. Don't let the low price fool you, this punches well above its weight.

Our Verdict - Karus Secret Musk Eau de Parfum
A divisive beast, Karus Secret Musk is either a sophisticated red-fruit chocolate dream or a headache-inducing musk bomb. Give it time to macerate if you're brave enough to blind buy, because its beast-mode performance is not for the faint of heart.

Best For:

Also Works:
