Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lovely EDP
This anniversary edition is what the original Lovely by SJP should have been all along. It's the same beloved scent, but dialled up a notch, with richer musk and better longevity. If you loved the classic, you'll adore this perfected version.

Our Verdict - Nation EDP
Nation traces Acqua di Parma Colonia's timeless citrus-aromatic elegance, opening on bright Sicilian lemon and lavender over a clean woody base. The original's old-school refinement is rendered a touch flatter here, but it captures that versatile, gentlemanly cologne character on a budget.
