Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ultraviolet Eau de Parfum
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.

Our Verdict - Uomo Eau de Parfum
This one is a divisive gem. For some, it's a 'dank' intoxicating delight, while for others, its bold violet opening is an immediate turn-off. Love it or hate it, Cavalli Uomo smells way more expensive than it is a rare feat.
