Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Gardenia EDP
This isn't a gardenia soliflore, despite the name. It's a posh white floral bouquet, a 'luxe soap' that divides opinion. Expect classic elegance and undeniable quality, but be prepared for a hefty price tag and debates over its namesake flower.

Our Verdict - Diapason EDP
A luxurious woody-spicy fragrance that envelops you with an elegant warmth, perfect for making a statement in the cooler months.
