Which Should You Buy?
White Shoulders is a divisive classic. It's either an iconic, beautiful white floral with a vintage allure, or an "old lady" scent with an overpowering, synthetic edge. You'll either adore its soapy, clean bouquet or be utterly repulsed; there's little middle ground.
Whilst its rebellious brand might hint at something daring, this ELDO scent is a surprisingly traditional white floral. It's a clean, fresh, and slightly soapy crowd-pleaser for those who enjoy lily of the valley, though some may find its simplicity a tad boring for the price.
