Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Fairytale
A divisive but much-loved B&BW hit, Fairytale promises enchanting florals and amber warmth. Many proclaim it a high-end dupe for YSL Libre, but others find it too sweet or even headache-inducing. Its enchanting longevity, particularly for a mist, has created a cult following.

Our Verdict - Black Sesame
This one is a divisive but intriguing floral gourmand. Some rave it's an addictive, compliment-getting marvel; others find its performance just alright, leaving them on the fence about a full bottle. Definitely sample it to see if it grabs you.
