Which Should You Buy?
Ex Nihilo's Fleur Narcotique is a divisive one. It's either a beautiful, fresh-fruity floral masterpiece that pulls compliments, or a screechy, synthetic fabric softener that's aggressively 'clean'. Sample before committing to the hefty price tag.
Divisive but beloved by its fans, Fancy Love is a creamy, sparkling peach-blossom dream that lasts longer than you'd expect for the price. Some find it a synthetic miss, others a sophisticated, affordable dupe for high-end classics.
