Which Should You Buy?
Midnight in Paris is a legendary, much-missed gem that still commands fanatical devotion years after its discontinuation. It's a nuanced, comforting amber-leather dream, though some find it a bit powdery or leaning feminine. A few even reckon it's nothing special, but they're very much in the minority. If you can find it for a decent price, snap it up.
A divisive scent for sure. For some, it's a solid, sweet, and spicy crowd-pleaser that punches above its price point. For others, it's a screechy, synthetic hangover. If you like sweet-spicy with a bit of grape-soda quirk, it might be your affordable gem.
