Which Should You Buy?
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.
This one's a proper head-scratcher. Some swear it's a luscious white floral, others are utterly repulsed by a 'wet cigarette' note. It's a journey, apparently- you'll either love how it macerates into a creamy dream, or chuck it in the bin after a few months. Definitely not a safe blind buy, as it polarises opinions like nothing else.
