Which Should You Buy?
L'Heure Bleue is a divisive classic. Some find it a timeless masterpiece, a comforting embrace from another era, while others can't get past its "old-fashioned" powderiness and medicinal tones. Definitely one to try before you buy.
Hiris is a divisive, melancholic iris, either a treasured masterpiece or an elusive disappointment. Some found it to be a calming, ethereal beauty, while others dismissed it as cold, weak, or even 'depression in a bottle'.
