Which Should You Buy?
Fame Couture is a creamy, powdery iris-vanilla concoction that's divisive: some adore its sophisticated, almost unisex charm, while others find it a little too 'lotion-like' or lacking the oomph they expect from a 'Couture' flanker. An alluring scent, but don't expect a beast.
Divain's Fame Couture dupe follows Rabanne's watery-coconut-into-smoky-incense-into-milky-vanilla arc closely, an accurate but lighter sketch of the couture original's shimmering evening trail.
