Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pure Instinct
This one's a mixed bag. Some reckon it's a solid, affordable blue-fragrance alternative, others find it utterly forgettable and generic. Either way, overspray this beast at your peril - you'll choke out everyone around you and probably give yourself a headache.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Platinum 22
Floris' Platinum 22 is a posh, sophisticated iris scent, perfect for those who appreciate understated elegance. It's a classy act and a crowd-pleaser, despite some debate over its exact notes.
