Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Secret Musk
This musky floral is a bit of a chameleon, shifting from jammy rose to clean soapiness, but expect a divisive reaction. Some adore its sensual, clean vibe, while others find the strong musk and powder overwhelming. Definitely sample before you commit.
Statement
Our Verdict - Romance
This is a polarising throwback, with some hailing it as a stellar dupe for a discontinued classic, while others find its retro charm off-puttingly 'old school'. Expect a green floral with a heavy dose of powder, and some debate over its fruitiness.
