Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Quelques Fleurs l'Original Eau de Parfum

Divisive and complex, Quelques Fleurs L'Original is a powerful, unapologetically vintage floral. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent that commands attention, often perceived as either a timeless masterpiece or an 'old lady' perfume. Don't blind buy; this one demands a proper skin test.

Our Verdict - White Shoulders Eau de Parfum

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.
