Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Iris Prima Eau de Parfum
This Penhaligon's gem divides the crowd: one third rave about its unique blend of clean iris and soft leather, evoking ballet studios and vintage glamour. The rest, however, find it far too subtle, disappearing within minutes, or too simple a leather-citrus mix. Not for those who want to announce their presence, but a refined choice for personal enjoyment.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Lyncis Extrait
A luminous, sparkling chypre floral that's an undisputed crowd-pleaser and a standout from Tiziana Terenzi. Prepare for compliments - this one demands attention and leaves a memorable trail.
