Which Should You Buy?
A bittersweet symphony for many, Promesse is a much-missed fruity floral that perfectly captured its era. Once a youthful crowd-pleaser, its current inflated price and propensity to turn are a sad reality for those nostalgic for its charm.
A bright, summery floral that evokes sun-drenched beaches and endless days. While some find its cheerfulness a bit linear or even 'boujee Daisy', many adore its uplifting sillage and surprising longevity for a 'freshie'. It's a crowd-pleaser that some find generic but others call a 'beautiful scent'.
