Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Attar Esraa Eau de Parfum

A juicy fruity explosion that's not for the faint of heart, Esraa is a divisive little number. Some find it a delightful, nostalgic fruit salad, others think it's pure soap. It's loud, it's proud, and it's definitely sweet - if that's your thing, you're in for a treat.

Our Verdict - Marina De Bourbon Eau de Parfum

This 90s powerhouse is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect a bold, sweet fruit explosion that some find sophisticated and festive, while others recoil from what they perceive as an outdated, cloying mess or even 'sweat in a bottle'.
