Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - What We Do In Paris Is Secret

This one's a proper head-scratcher. Some reckon it's a classy, honeyed dream, others get pure baby powder, Play-Doh, or even baby wipes. Definitely try before you buy, because your skin chemistry will make or break this Parisian secret.

Our Verdict - Perseus

Perseus is a crowd-pleasing, creamy almond and vanilla bomb that punches well above its weight class. Some find its opening a bit rough around the edges or too 'play-doh' but the drydown wins most over, with many hailing it as a true dupe for a much pricier original.
