Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - L'Instant Magic Eau de Parfum

Divisive, yet utterly enchanting for its devotees. This Guerlain offers a powdery, soft embrace that some find magically comforting, while others can't get past its baby powder resemblance. A true love-it-or-hate-it scent with a dedicated following.

Our Verdict - Petits et Mamans Eau de Parfum

This one's utterly divisive: some find it a delightful, nostalgic cuddle in a bottle, others reckon it's a rancid, sour take on baby powder. Try before you buy, because this 'mamans' juice isn't for every 'petit'.
