Which Should You Buy?
Chloé L'Lumineuse is a crowd-pleasing vanilla-floral with a surprisingly divisive balsamic twist. Some find it a 'clean girl' staple, others a sour mess. You'll either love its creamy sweetness or recoil from an unexpected tartness.
A comforting, easy-wearing rose and vanilla combo. Cafe Intense takes a little while to mature, with an intially dominant rose settling into a creamy, coffee-kissed vanilla aura. It's a crowd-pleasing, low-key scent for those who like their florals enveloped in warmth.
