Which Should You Buy?
A truly divisive 80s powerhouse, Carolina Herrera is a bombastic white floral that screams 'boss lady' to some and 'old lady' to others. Definitely not a blind buy unless you live for huge tuberose and unapologetic civet.
A divisive floral powerhouse from the 90s, Blue Lady is a love-it-or-hate-it scent. Some adore its long-lasting, heavy white floral trail, while others find it screechy and synthetic. If you like your florals bold and loud, this budget-friendly classic is worth a sniff.

However, its bold, sophisticated floral and animalic character, often described as 'sexy' and 'elegant' by reviewers, makes it perfect for date nights and formal events. Its 'powerhouse' nature means it can overwhelm in casual, close-quarter situations.
