Which Should You Buy?
A legendary scent that's loved, longed for, and occasionally loathed. Vintage bottles are considered masterpieces, while newer formulations are seen as a shadow of their former glory. It's truly a perfume that transcends mere fragrance, provoking strong emotional connections.
This 90s Sophia Grojsman classic is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. While some adore its fruity-floral pow, others find it a screeching assault, or simply an old-fashioned scrubber. The gorgeous bottle remains a universal draw.
