Which Should You Buy?
Louis Vuitton's Orage. This 'thunderstorm in a bottle' is a beautifully crafted fresh-earthy scent, though its divisive performance makes the eye-watering price tag a bitter pill to swallow for many. You'll either adore its unique, understated elegance or resent its poor longevity.
A dead ringer for LV Orage, this one’s a fresh, woody scent that punches way above its price point. Just don't expect it to last for ages - it's a fleeting beauty, much like its designer counterpart.
