Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive floral. Some find it a truly authentic, sensual magnolia with great presence, while others get a sharp, soapy, or even 'old plant water' vibe. Definitely try before you buy to see which camp you fall into.
Tumulte by Christian Lacroix is a surprisingly controversial rose, swinging between 'heavenly' and 'a total mess'. It's a heady, intoxicating potion that's either your next obsession or a sweet, muddy disaster.
