Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - This Is Not A Blue Bottle 1.2 Eau de Parfum
A divisive scent that some adore for its uplifting floral sweetness, while others dismiss it as smelling like 'baby wipes' or 'laundry detergent'. If it works with your chemistry, it's a bubbly, clean floral dream. If not, best avoid.
