Which Should You Buy?
A legendary, much-missed masterpiece, Alchimie is either an intoxicating, complex floriental dream or a muddled, cucumber-pickled nightmare depending on your skin chemistry. The passion for its return is palpable, a true testament to its unique, divisive charm.
This one's a bit of a wildcard, splitting opinion right down the middle. Some call it a 'brash' berry bomb that never settles, while others find its unique blend surprisingly addictive. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but its persistence can't be denied.
