Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Innocence
A legendary floral green whose untimely discontinuation has sparked a lifelong devotion among its fans. It's clean, fresh, and universally adored, with many calling for its rebirth.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Japanese Rituals
This budget-friendly beauty delivers a surprising punch of fresh floral sophistication. It's often compared to pricier alternatives like L'Eau de Chloé, making it a divisive but much-loved dupe for many, although some find it too sharp or synthetic.
