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.
Bombshell is a divisive crowd-pleaser that's either a vibrant, confident stunner or a synthetic, dated mess. It's an undisputed fruity-floral icon that takes you straight back to the 2010s, for better or worse.
