Which Should You Buy?
This isn't just a classic, it's a piece of perfumery history. While some find its subtle, powdery lavender comforting and timeless, others declare it an overly simple, dated relic with abysmal performance. You'll either get it, or you won't. And if you do, you'll love it.
Alia Edition 2018 is a divisive little number. Some reckon it's a unique, sweet-green dream; others find it a bit of a musky mess. You'll either love its candy-floss woods or give it a wide berth.
