Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lily Essence
This Brazilian darling is a study in contrasts - some adore its creamy, sophisticated floral embrace, while others lament its alleged reformulation woes and fleeting presence on skin. A truly divisive scent that inspires fierce loyalty or utter disappointment.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Venice
This "warm floral" is a surprisingly sophisticated, easy-wearing scent for those who appreciate understated elegance. It's often compared to a sweeter Chanel No. 5, making it a win for fans of classic feminine perfumery.

Spring

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Best For:
Office Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its sophisticated white floral and powdery accords, combined with moderate sillage (for most users), make it suitable for various settings from daytime office wear to evening dates.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal
