Which Should You Buy?
This is a powdery, effortlessly elegant rose that divides opinion. Some find it beautiful and soft, others a dated headache. It's sadly discontinued, causing much wailing and gnashing of teeth among its devotees.
Divisive and underwhelming if you're expecting classic Chanel, but a bright, playful, and surprisingly long-lasting fruity floral if you're after a modern, easy-going scent that gets compliments.
