Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black XS
This perfume is a divisive one. While some find it to be a unique, sexy, and addictive blend of dark fruits and cacao, others are let down by its perceived weakness and lack of longevity compared to its predecessor. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, often depending on skin chemistry and expectations.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Midnight Kiss
This one's a proper find from Primark, surprising everyone with its sophisticated powdery floral charm. It's a true hidden gem that people genuinely hunt down, proving you don't need a hefty price tag for a beloved scent.
