Which Should You Buy?
Believe is a divisive yet unique gem in Britney's lineup. This isn't your typical celeb gourmand; it's a potent fruitchouli, loved by many for its earthy freshness, but be warned - the patchouli is a major player and not for everyone.
A budget twin of Britney Spears Believe's fruity-floral. Manner keeps the tropical guava-and-tangerine punch and the surprising patchouli-praline warmth that gave the original a more grown-up edge, though it renders the whole thing flatter and shorter-lived.
