Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Can Can Eau de Parfum
A divisive Y2K classic that some adore as a playful, sweet, feminine hug, while others can't get past its perceived synthetic edge or cloying sweetness. Expect compliments, or a headache - there's no middle ground for Can Can.
Statement
Our Verdict - Happy Spirit Eau de Parfum
Happy Spirit is a divisive one. Some find it a delightful, well-balanced fruity floral that lives up to its name, while others are put off by a perceived artificial sweetness or overly musky dry-down. It definitely isn't for everyone.
