Which Should You Buy?
This one is a divisive whisper, not a shout. Some adore its fresh, natural elegance, a genuine basil-forward surprise. Others find it fleeting, a generic green that simply doesn't live up to its Hermès name. Test before you commit, unless you're a devout fan of herbal subtlety.
If your dream is to smell like a cheap clone of Bleu de Chanel, then Aim High might just hit the mark. It's affordable, but for many, that price point comes with a synthetic harshness and limited staying power. Dive in if you're an absolute beginner or just need a gym spray.
