Which Should You Buy?
A powerhouse floral that, despite its name, carves out its own distinct identity. It's truly a "love it or hate it" scent; some find it a gorgeous, natural bouquet, while others are overwhelmed by its potent and sometimes sharp white florals.
A budget version of Estee Lauder's Pleasures Intense. Maximum Enjoyment captures the green-lily opening and the buttery floral heart, but Perfume Parlour's take renders the creamy, resinous vanilla base thinner and reads a touch more synthetic, with weaker sillage than the original's powerful trail.
