Favourite
Our Verdict - Pierre de Velay No. 16
This one's a stunner, mates. Forget boring citrus - it's a fruity floral masterpiece that's pure addictive joy. It's a shame it's discontinued, because it nails that sweet spot between playful and sophisticated like no other. Get your hands on it if you can.
