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.
Favourite
Our Verdict - 254 Acqua di Parma Colonia EDP
A close, well-researched match to Colonia's unchanged-since-1916 citrus-lavender-rose formula, confirmed against the real fragrance's published notes.
