Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Opera
This one's a proper grown-up scent, balancing a bit of zest with a rich, floral heart. It's sophisticated and commanding, definitely not for shrinking violets.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Burning Desire
Don't let the name fool you - there's less burning desire and more sparkling charm here. It's a bright, sophisticated, and utterly delightful citrus-rose, perfect for those who crave a fresh everyday scent, but perhaps too tame for those seeking something truly fiery.
