Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - So Elixir Eau de Parfum
This one's a true classic, often compared to Coco Mademoiselle but with its own smoky charm. It's a confident, long-lasting scent; just go easy on the trigger if you want to avoid giving anyone a patchouli headache.

Our Verdict - La Belle et l'Ocelot Eau de Parfum
A divisive darling, La Belle et l'Ocelot is a neo-vintage amber floral that some find breathtakingly elegant and others, a bit too old-school. It's a statement scent, demanding attention with its rich, complex character, though some find it a bit safe for a Salvador Dalí.
