Which Should You Buy?
This is a bright, elegant floral with a prominent citrus opening that divides opinion. Some find it a bit too sharp and soapy, others adore its realistic magnolia and sunny disposition. It's a classy scent that generally pleases, though some wish it lasted longer.
This is a clean, bright citrus floral that's either a ray of sunshine or glorified dish soap, depending on who you ask. If you're after a subtle, uplifting scent for quiet moments, this will hit the mark, but don't expect it to scream for attention.
