Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - L'Impératrice EDT
A burst of watermelon and kiwi on a musky, ozonic base, L'Impératrice is an iconic fruity-aquatic that radiates fun, sunshine, and confidence. A staple for those craving easy, vibrant freshness.

Our Verdict - Head Over Heels For Women EDP
A budget take on YSL In Love Again. Head Over Heels captures the bright grapefruit-and-berry fruity-floral signature, but the dupe pushes the fruit juicier and sweeter while the airy, elegant transparency that made Jean-Claude Ellena's original a fruity-floral benchmark reads simpler and shorter-lived.
