Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Burlington Eau de Parfum

This is a real love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent. Some reckon it's a masterpiece of modern citrus, pure class in a bottle, while others find the cumin note absolutely vile, smelling of burnt rubber or body odour. It's a divisive one, so sample before you splurge on that hefty price tag.

Our Verdict - Fara Eau de Parfum

A truly divisive marine fragrance. Fara balances bright, zingy citrus with an unusual, funky undertone of salt and cumin that makes it a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Not for the faint of heart, but addictive for those who get it.
