Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Taj Sunset Eau de Parfum
A juicy, sweet mango bomb for those who want to smell like summer in a bottle. Whilst many adore its tropical escapism, expect some to find it unapologetically youthful, even a bit syrupy. Performance is a common gripe, so be ready to reapply for that holiday vibe.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Cruz del Sur II Eau de Parfum
Cruz del Sur II is a tropical riot, divisive as hell but utterly captivating for those who get it. It's either a creamy, dreamy mango milkshake or a sour-milky nightmare on skin. Sample it first, because this one's a proper gamble.
