Which Should You Buy?
A divisive yet iconic 90s classic that either transports you to a blissful summer or leaves you cold. This watery floral, with its unique vodka kick, is a time capsule - love it for its nostalgic charm or dismiss it as dated. Not for everyone, but unforgettable for those who 'get' it.
This one's divisive, love it or hate it. Many find it a delicate, airy floral marine, perfect for sunny days. But some are seriously underwhelmed, citing poor performance or a cloying, artificial 'blue' note.
