Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vera Wang EDP
Vera Wang's signature scent is a clean, classic floral that evokes wedding day elegance. While its delicate nature means it won't scream for attention, its subtle charm and affordability make it a beloved choice for everyday wear.

Our Verdict - Designer American For Women EDP
A budget take on the original Vera Wang (2002) - the same soft, creamy white-floral of mandarin, gardenia and rose drying to stephanotis and clean musk. Designer American captures that powdery, romantic character but reads flatter and shorter-lived than the designer original, the gardenia thinner and the blend simpler.
