Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Andalusian Soul Eau de Parfum
This is a divisive one. Many find it a comforting, boozy vanilla dream - a grown-up take on Warm Vanilla Sugar. But others are put off by a persistent 'Play-Doh' note or a bitter herbal edge. Performance seems to be a real mixed bag too.

Our Verdict - Junoon Velvet Pour Homme Eau de Parfum
A truly polarising beast, Junoon Velvet Pour Homme is either a 'ravishing' and 'opulent' scent or 'weird herbs' and 'not a pleasant smell'. If you can ride out the divisive opening, you'll find a luxurious, velvety leather drydown that punches well above its price tag.
