Which Should You Buy?
This is a real marmite scent - you'll either adore its warm, golden embrace or find it a bit too much. Sublime is a truly classic, sophisticated floral that demands attention, but be warned: reformulations divide opinion, so hunt for a vintage bottle if you want the full, unadulterated experience.
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.
