Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Infusion d'Iris Cèdre Eau de Parfum

This is Prada's clean-cut Iris and Cedar, a divisive scent that some adore for its sophisticated cleanliness and quiet luxury, whilst others find it too austere, powdery, or even plain. If you appreciate the brand's 'soapy' DNA, this is a must-try. Just be aware of the ongoing name and formulation drama online.

Our Verdict - Pontevecchio Eau de Parfum

This woody aromatic is a divisive one - some find it a gorgeous, refined Italian scent, others find it too old-school and generic. Expect clean, fresh woody florals with a hint of incense, but be prepared for a strong personality.
