Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Opera

This one's a proper grown-up scent, balancing a bit of zest with a rich, floral heart. It's sophisticated and commanding, definitely not for shrinking violets.

Acquired

Our Verdict - Best

This one's a bit of a slow burn. The opening citrus can be a sharp smack to the face, but if you've got the patience for the dry-down, you'll be rewarded with something rather lovely and clean. Perfect if you want to smell like posh toiletries.
