Which Should You Buy?
A divisive fresh-floral, this bright Gucci flanker is either a zesty, uplifting hit for warm weather or a sharp, headache-inducing scrubber that dries down to an uninspired 'detergent' scent. Longevity is the biggest wild card.
Himalayan Blue is a divisive scent that's either a uniquely tranquil tea experience or a forgettable disappointment. If you're after something genuinely different and enjoy tea-centric fragrances, it's worth a sniff, but bypass if you're chasing the hand cream's magic.
