Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Alien Sublime Eau de Toilette
This Alien flanker is a divisive one. Fans love its brighter, creamier take on the original, while critics find it redundant or, worse, downright unpleasant. If you're after a lighter, more citrusy Alien, this might be your jam - but sample first, because not everyone's on board.

Our Verdict - Paradiso Assoluto Eau de Parfum
Paradiso Assoluto is a divisive beast: some hail it as a sensual, exotic floral bomb, perfect for a tropical holiday vibe. Others find it an overpowering, sharp mess, barely there, or even headache-inducing. Definitely not a blind-buy.
