Which Should You Buy?
This 90s powerhouse is a divisive blast from the past. For some, it's a timeless clean-girl classic of melon, lily, and musk. For others, it's a screechy, synthetic mess that should have stayed in the last century. Proceed with caution - and perhaps a test strip.
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.
