Which Should You Buy?
Carat is a divisive one: some adore its sparkling, fresh floral bouquet, others find it too sharp, synthetic, or just plain boring. If you fancy a spring garden in a bottle, give it a go, but expect a mixed bag of opinions.
This mimosa soliflore is a universally adored spring day in a bottle, despite its modest performance. It's a sunshine scent, pure and simple, though a few found it too green or even off-putting. If you're after a warm, fuzzy floral, this is your jam.
