Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ylang Ylang Nosy Be Eau de Parfum
A creamy, seductive ylang-ylang that's pure sunshine in a bottle. This tropical queen is a crowd-pleaser, delivering rich, sweet florals with a modern twist, though a few find it a bit too vintage or intense. Definitely a must-try for yellow floral lovers.

Our Verdict - Golestan Extrait
Golestan is a polarising white floral bomb. Some find it a masterpiece of rich, natural florals with Tauer's signature depth; others get grape soda or overpowering, dusty decay. Definitely one to sample first to see if it sings or screams on your skin.
