Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Chic
Chic is a crowd-pleasing, understated gem. It's not a beast, nor is it revolutionary, but this fresh, spicy woody scent is genuinely pleasant and remarkably versatile. A safe blind buy for an everyday grab that just smells, well, chic.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Lovie
A budget interpretation of Carolina Herrera Chic's warm, feminine floral. Lovie keeps the rose-and-tuberose bouquet over a creamy vanilla-musk base, but renders the original's opulent floral oriental flatter and lighter, with a shorter, skin-closer wear.
