Which Should You Buy?
Queening is a divisive one, hyped to hell but leaving many underwhelmed. Expect a soft, powdery vanilla with a clean, cotton-fresh twist, though some find it synthetic or masculine. At its price point, it's a hard sell for most, failing to live up to the 'niche' expectation in terms of performance or originality.
No.099 dupes Carolina Herrera 212 VIP, the fizzy champagne-and-passion-fruit oriental over sweet musk and vanilla. Eden's version captures the sparkly, sweet opening but the musk-vanilla base thins out faster, giving noticeably less of the original's warm, party-ready staying power.
