Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Platinum Shade Eau de Parfum

If you're after a fruit bomb, you might feel a bit short-changed here. It's more of a woody-amber with a subtle berry whisper, which can feel a touch 'shady' if your expectations are sky-high for fruitiness.

Our Verdict - Empathy Eau de Parfum

Prepare for a proper head-scratcher. Empathy is a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent, delivering a bizarre, contradictory blend of synthetic raspberry and heavy tobacco that leaves many utterly baffled. Don't blind buy this one unless you fancy a gamble.

Date

The prominent tobacco and mixed reviews on its scent profile make it less suitable for formal or office settings. Its playful, yet often cloying, fruitiness paired with tobacco leans towards casual wear, with some finding it intriguing enough for a date.
