Which Should You Buy?
Divisive and complex, Quelques Fleurs L'Original is a powerful, unapologetically vintage floral. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent that commands attention, often perceived as either a timeless masterpiece or an 'old lady' perfume. Don't blind buy; this one demands a proper skin test.
This one's a proper divisive little number: some find it a delightful, sunny mimosa dream, while others are left wondering where the mimosa even went. Expect a bright, clean opening, but whether it settles into powdery floral bliss or a screechy citrus mess is truly down to your skin.
