Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Enigma Cologne
This is a seriously divisive Roja Dove scent: half the room will want to know what this delicious cherry cola is, the other half will accuse you of smelling like a urinal, old books, or wet dog. If you're into that kind of drama, spray away.

Our Verdict - Queen by Queen Latifah Eau de Parfum
This discontinued gem is a boozy, vanilla-patchouli dream, consistently praised for smelling far more expensive than its original price tag. It's a celebrity fragrance that's truly queen-worthy, though it can be a bit much if oversprayed.
