Which Should You Buy?
A summer staple that splits opinions between divine refreshment and mundane false starts. Its lemony apple zest is loved by fresh-scent seekers but labelled basic by those expecting more complexity.
A divisive summer scent; some hail it as a perfect Light Blue dupe, while others are seriously let down by its performance and dry-down. Buy it if you prioritise an affordable clone, but don't expect it to last.
