Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - La Violette
This is a gorgeous, pure violet that'll transport you straight to a spring garden. There's some grumbling about recent reformulations, but the original is widely hailed as a violet masterpiece - just don't expect it to last forever.

Our Verdict - Garden Party
This is a divisive rose scent; some find it a delightful, fresh garden party in a bottle, while others dismiss it as a synthetic, screechy mess. Performance is generally weak, which for some is a deal-breaker, but for others, it's just right for intimate wear.
