Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Donna Margherita Extrait
This is a big, bold white floral that doesn't care for subtlety, and it's quite divisive. Some find it a rich, modern take on tuberose and narcissus, whilst others lament a peculiar sour opening. Either way, it's a statement.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Cross of Asia Eau de Parfum
This is a gorgeous, classy white and yellow floral, providing it aligns with your skin's chemistry. Some find it a bit sharp or even "pissy" on their skin, but for many, it's a balanced, luxurious experience.
