Which Should You Buy?
A divisive Estée Lauder gourmand from yesteryear that's surprisingly sophisticated for its notes. Some find it a balanced 'fruitchouli', while others are put off by a strong patchouli opening and find it turns sickly or artificial on their skin. A proper love-it-or-hate-it.
Divisive, darling. Some reckon it's a 'divine' grown-up gourmand with an affordable Chanel vibe, others sniff 'spoiled top notes' or 'burnt sugar'. It's quirky, elegant, and generally a light-to-moderate performer, so don't expect it to fill a room.
