Which Should You Buy?
White Shoulders is a divisive classic. It's either an iconic, beautiful white floral with a vintage allure, or an "old lady" scent with an overpowering, synthetic edge. You'll either adore its soapy, clean bouquet or be utterly repulsed; there's little middle ground.
A truly gorgeous, natural jasmine that captures the scent of a blooming garden. While some found it fleeting or too sharp, most praise its authentic floral freshness. It's a real shame it's been discontinued, as fans can't get enough.
