Which Should You Buy?
Chantilly is a divisive yet beloved vintage gem, capable of smelling like dish soap to some, but a comforting, spicy, powdery dream to others. For the true experience, hunt down an original Houbigant bottle.
A divisive Floris gem that's sadly discontinued, Palm Springs is an acquired taste. If you can get past the initial sharp spice, it settles into a sophisticated, warmly classic scent that evokes old-school charm rather than beachside glamour.
