Our verdict on The Secret Temptation: Favourite

This one's a proper divisive scent. Some reckon it's a unique, seductive cheapie with surprising quality, while others find it a synthetic mess with rubbish performance. You'll either love its spicy-woody-vanilla twist or hate its peppery edge, so definitely try before you buy.

About

The Secret Temptation opens with a lively burst of pink pepper and cardamom, brightened by bergamot and a distinctive resinous elemi. It mellows into an aromatic heart with green basil and a touch of jasmine, before settling into a warm, musky-woody base of vetiver and soft vanilla. It's a journey from sharp spice to comforting sweetness.
