Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 125th & Bloom EDP
This one is a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect strong opinions, divisive reactions, and a good few people telling you it smells like 'fancy dirt'. It's unapologetically bold, so if you're after subtle, look elsewhere.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Bombshell Oud EDP
This is Victoria's Secret trying something genuinely daring, and it's paid off for many. It's not a safe blind buy, with its divisive opening and strong oud-leather character, but it offers surprising depth and luxury for the price.
