Which Should You Buy?
A legendary green floral from the 90s, Parfum d'Ete is adored for its fresh, dewy garden scent - but only the vintage, original formulation. Don't touch the newer stuff, it's a travesty.
A legendary green floral from the 70s, Private Collection is a divisive scent: you'll either love its crisp, retro elegance and confident swagger, or find it a bit too sharp and 'vintage'. It’s an acquired taste for some, but a timeless masterpiece for others.
