Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Fleur de Chine

A truly gorgeous, multifaceted floral that evokes classicism without feeling dated. Its unfortunate discontinuation makes it a sought-after gem for those who appreciate timeless elegance with a modern twist.

Acquired

Our Verdict - Blue

A solid, budget-friendly 'freshie' that punches above its weight. It's a crowd-pleaser with a clean, masculine DNA, making it a safe blind buy, especially if you're not bothered by the need to reapply.
