Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - True Love Eau de Parfum
This Sophia Grojsman creation is a divisive one, sparking strong reactions from 'love it' to 'hate it'. If you're after a clean, powdery, Nivea-esque scent for quiet cosy moments, this budget-friendly classic might just be your True Love. But beware, some find it sharp, synthetic, or even reminiscent of baby wipes or bleach.
Statement
Our Verdict - Ombre Rose L'Original Eau de Parfum
This is a love-it-or-hate-it classic that divides opinion. For some, it's a nostalgic, sophisticated powder bomb - for others, a choking, dated nightmare that smells like baby products or worse. Approach with caution.
