Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sweet Almond Blossom EDP
Despite the name, wearers report no almond at all; this plays as juicy apple blossom over creamy vanilla and pink pomelo, soft and shampoo-clean. A springy daytime pick for office and casual wear, a gentle gourmand-adjacent floral.
Statement
Our Verdict - de Lacoste L.12.12 Pour Elle Magnetic EDT
This one is a divisive little fruit bomb. Some adore its sweet, tropical embrace, while others find it a cloying, headache-inducing mess. If you're after a loud, vanilla-laden mango dream, you're in for a treat; otherwise, approach with caution.
