Which Should You Buy?
Divisive, potent, and eye-wateringly expensive, Blue Sapphire demands attention. Many laud its unique, opulent blend, but an equal number are left cold, questioning its originality and astronomical price tag.
Eden's own alternative inspired by Givenchy's Very Irresistible name - a blackcurrant-and-rose floral built around Taif rose. Eden markets it as an occasion scent, not for daily wear, and this is a stronger, louder rose than the original's lighter fresh-floral register.
