Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sound of Donna Eau de Parfum
Sound of Donna is a truly delicious gourmand, perfect for those craving a sweet, creamy almond and chestnut confection. While some find it nothing special or even synthetic, a loyal following showers it with compliments, making it a crowd-pleaser that consistently draws attention.
Statement
Our Verdict - Le Paradis de Nina Eau de Parfum
This flanker to the original Nina is as divisive as it gets: some find it heavenly, a light, sweet dream of almond and fruit, while for others, it's a saccharine nightmare, a headache in a bottle that's far too sweet for comfort. Blind-buy at your own risk.

Spring

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.
