Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Attraction EDP
This discontinued Lancôme beauty is a controversial one. Some find it a timeless, sophisticated masterpiece - a true "real woman" scent. Others are repulsed by what they describe as a sharp, cleaning-fluid-like nastiness. Love it or hate it, it aims for classic femininity.

Our Verdict - Le Lumière EDP
This flanker to the original Le Parfum is a divisive white floral experience - some find it a glorious, luminous bouquet, while others are put off by a perceived bitterness or cloying sweetness. Expect compliments, or perhaps, a few puzzled expressions.
