Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Royal Mystery
This is a seriously polarising scent - some find it an absolute beast of a fruity floral, while others are left cold by what they perceive as an artificial or 'grape soda' vibe. Best for those who like their scents loud and proud.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Emily in Paris
This perfume is a fresh, clean floral that will take you straight back to the 90s. It's universally likeable but perhaps a bit too nostalgic for some, feeling like a familiar flashback rather than something new.
