Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Fig and Brown Sugar EDP
This is a seriously sweet scent that hits different for everyone. Some find it a delectable gourmand, others a bit of a sugar bomb. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of vibe.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Sweet Purple EDP
Sweet Purple chases the popular Fig & Brown Sugar accord - that creamy fig, soft peach and caramel-vanilla gourmand. It nails the cosy, edible mood but reads sweeter and flatter, the fig less green-milky and the longevity short as the original-style mists often are.
