Which Should You Buy?
Seriously divisive. Some adore this sweet, fruity violet with impressive longevity, while others find it a cloying, cheap mess. Don't blind buy; your skin chemistry dictates whether it's a playful candy dream or a peculiar, synthetic flop.
Inspired by Lancome La Vie Est Belle. The blackcurrant-iris-praline gourmand formula reads correctly, but No. 168 pushes sweetness over the original's soft powdery iris, and fades faster.
