Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aqua Vitae Forte
This one's a wildcard. Some rave about its unique citrus-spice creaminess, calling it a masterpiece. Others recoil, picking up on a cloying sweetness, or finding it too masculine/feminine. Definitely a try-before-you-buy situation, but its potent sillage ensures you'll make an impression.

Our Verdict - Infusion d'Ylang
This Prada Infusion is the sunniest of the bunch, a genuinely uplifting take on ylang-ylang that manages to be both tropical and fresh without resorting to obvious 'beach holiday' tropes. It's a crowd-pleaser for those who love yellow florals.
