Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Venetian
This is a hidden gem for anyone after the Abercrombie & Fitch Fierce vibe but wants something a bit more grown-up, smoother, and without smelling like a shopping centre. It's a crowd-pleaser that punches well above its weight for the price point.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Water Lily
A truly gorgeous, understated fresh floral with a delicious hint of watermelon that's adored by all. This one's a definite crowd-pleaser and a perfect choice for those who want a delicate yet distinctive spring-summer scent.
