Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - R U Serious Her
This is a serious, grown-up white floral with an amber heart and a tenacious, dark, heavy patchouli base. While some reckon it's a colder, harsher take on Interdit, others say it's an inexpensive dupe of the intense version. Either way, it's not a 'girl next door' scent.
Statement
Our Verdict - On New York Time
If you want to smell like an absolute boss, then 'On New York Time' is your ticket. This is a crowd-pleasing fruity powerhouse that simply gets the job done, no fuss, no faff.
