Which Should You Buy?
Cruz del Sur II is a tropical riot, divisive as hell but utterly captivating for those who get it. It's either a creamy, dreamy mango milkshake or a sour-milky nightmare on skin. Sample it first, because this one's a proper gamble.
If you're after a dupe for the elusive Gucci Envy Me, this is your jam. It's affordable, versatile, and generally well-loved, though some find it a bit too green or even headache-inducing. Patch test before committing, always.
