Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Red Secret
If you're on the hunt for a sophisticated, feminine scent that's a bit of a chameleon, Red Secret is worth a sniff. Some find it a bit too mature initially, but give it time - the dry down is where the magic happens, revealing a really elegant warmth.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Intense Amber
Divisive, potent and utterly misleading: Intense Amber is anything but a classic amber. Expect a bold, sweet rose and raspberry bomb with serious staying power. You'll either adore its persistent fruitiness or find it overwhelmingly artificial.
