Which Should You Buy?
This much-loved, much-missed EDT from Dior still commands devotion. Expect compliments and wistful sighs for its unique, playful charm. If you can hunt down a bottle, you're in for a treat, but be warned: the strong opinions and passionate pleas for its return prove it's a true collector's item.
This Gourmand Orange Blossom is a dead ringer for LVEB, but without the cloying sweetness or dreaded stale patchouli dry-down that plagues the original for some. It's a crowd-pleaser for gourmand lovers and converts alike, proving that 'designer dupe' doesn't have to mean second-best.
