Which Should You Buy?
This polarizing aquatic-fruity concoction has a devoted following, but don't blind buy. Many find it delightful and distinctive, while others are repelled by its sharp, artificial edge, comparing it to cleaning products or even 'pissy' seaweed. The bottle is gorgeous though. Fair warning: it's a scrubber for some.
Reminiscence Dragée is a delightfully divisive gourmand. Some rave about its fluffy, candied almond allure, while others are left cold by synthetic tangs and vanishing longevity. If you want true Jordan almond vibes, sample first - don't blind buy unless you like a gamble.
