Which Should You Buy?
This discontinued Lancôme beauty is a controversial one. Some find it a timeless, sophisticated masterpiece - a true "real woman" scent. Others are repulsed by what they describe as a sharp, cleaning-fluid-like nastiness. Love it or hate it, it aims for classic femininity.
BDK's 'Vanille Leather' is a divisive one. Many find it a plush, powdery violet-vanilla dream with a buttery suede kiss, perfect for cosy nights. Others are utterly bewildered, sniffing a 'floral mess' with no leather or vanilla in sight. You'll either adore its sophisticated warmth or wonder if you've been sold a completely different perfume.
