Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rio Radiance EDP
This one's a proper divisive holiday romance. For some, it's that dreamy, expensive sunscreen vibe that screams luxury beach holidays. For others? Just bog-standard sun lotion with an overwhelming tuberose sledgehammer. You'll either adore it or be running for the hills.

Our Verdict - Luxe Gardenia EDT
This one's a divisive floral. Some find it a clean, creamy office-friendly scent, while others recoil, comparing it to hairspray. It's affordable, so if you're curious about a budget gardenia, it might be worth a punt, but proceed with caution.
