Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - The Jewel of Ocean Extrait
This is very much a 'blue' fragrance for those who like their clean scents to last. It's a crowd-pleaser that elevates familiar designer DNA to extrait-level performance, even if it might feel a touch synthetic to some.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Dear Polly Eau de Parfum
This one is a divisive brew, with devotees singing its praises as a beautifully balanced tea scent, while others recoil from what they perceive as acrid smokiness. Try before you buy, it's definitely skin chemistry dependent.
