Which Should You Buy?
This Y2K classic is divisive by design. Ultraviolet is not for the faint of heart, but those who 'get it' swear by its unique violet-pepper-apricot blend for a truly unforgettable scent. Just watch out for that dodgy atomizer.
A divisive scent, with some raving about its raspberry-peppery allure, while others dismiss it as fleeting and uninspired. If you're after a lighter, fresher take on Givenchy's Hot Couture, this might just be your jam- or your cheap fruity frag.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
