Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Guerlain Shalimar Parfum Initial L'Eau
This flanker proves divisive, celebrated by many as a refined, modern Shalimar, yet dismissed by others as a soapy, powdery disappointment. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with little middle ground.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Dior Poison Girl
