Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Blue
Look, it's cheap as chips and pulls its weight as a no-brainer "spray and go" scent. Sure, the performance is a running joke, and it screams "synthetic," but for the price, it's a solid shout for everyday freshness despite its detractors' theatrical complaints.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Femme
A subtle, elegant embrace that dances between modern femininity and classic melancholy. Yohji Yamamoto Femme might be 'wimpy' to some, but for others, it's a nostalgic, refined whisper perfect for those who prefer understated allure.
