Which Should You Buy?
A divisive yet iconic '90s classic, Lei splits opinion between a musky, unisex dream and a dusty, old-fashioned nightmare. Love it or hate it, its powdery-vanilla heart evokes serious nostalgia for many.
A truly impressive budget buy, Yaa Umree is a creamy, salty floral that punches well above its weight. It's a crowd-pleasing, uplifting scent, though some find the lactonic notes a bit too much. The hype is real for this one.
