Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pure XS EDT
Rabanne's Pure XS is divisive - love it or hate it. It's a playful, sweet, boozy vanilla that some find unique and others utterly generic, but it’s undoubtedly a magnet for attention, if only for its curious 'cola' vibe.
Statement
Our Verdict - Velvet Intox EDP
Perfume Parlour's budget version of BORNTOSTANDOUT Drunk Lovers, the boozy cognac-and-berries woody-spicy. It captures the sexy liqueur-and-fruit opening and the warm spiced amber-vanilla base well, though it leans sweeter sooner and renders the complex spicy heart simpler than the niche original.
