Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - SJP NYC Eau de Parfum
SJP NYC is a vibrant, divisive celebrity scent; some adore its jammy strawberry-booze cocktail, others recoil from what they perceive as artificial sweetness and a lack of sophistication. It's a proper love-it-or-hate-it kind of fragrance, so try before you buy.
Favourite
Our Verdict - RiRi Eau de Parfum
RiRi by Rihanna is a divisive tropical cocktail - some adore its sweet, boozy, fruity charm as a compliment-getter, while others find it too generic, cloying, or fleeting. It's a celebrity scent that aims for fun, but might leave some wanting more depth or longevity.
