Which Should You Buy?
This flanker is a divisive one. There's a proper split between those who find its creamy white florals elegant and clean, and those who detect a screechy, synthetic 'old lady' vibe. You'll either love how it develops on your skin, or you'll be giving the bottle away.
This is a seriously solid, versatile everyday scent. It's a pleasant floral-woody affair that delivers quality and performance well above its price point.
