Which Should You Buy?
Chantilly is a divisive yet beloved vintage gem, capable of smelling like dish soap to some, but a comforting, spicy, powdery dream to others. For the true experience, hunt down an original Houbigant bottle.
Note Vanillée is a divisive beast, with some hailing its boozy vanilla as a sophisticated dream, while others are left reeling from what they perceive as an "old lady" floral mess or even (gasp!) pickle juice. Don't blind buy this one, unless you fancy a gamble.
