Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sotto Voce Eau de Parfum
A beloved 90s classic, Sotto Voce is desperately missed by its dedicated fanbase. This 'irresistible whisper' of peach, wood, and vanilla is universally adored but sadly impossible to find at a fair price. Bring it back, Laura Biagiotti!

Our Verdict - Arabian Desert Eau de Parfum
This one's a divisive beast, a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect compliments aplenty, but some will find it overly sweet and a bit much. It's a confident, bold statement rather than a subtle whisper.
