Which Should You Buy?
Prepare yourself for D'Orsay's Flower Lust: a divisive and potent floral bomb that demands attention. Some find it intoxicatingly unique and seductive, while others are overwhelmed by its sweetness and intensity. Either way, it's a bold statement, not a subtle whisper.
This one's a proper divisive scent; you'll either get an intriguing, smoky wood or a sharpie-and-plastic mess. Definitely sample first, as it's not a safe blind buy by any stretch.
