Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Can Can Eau de Parfum
A divisive Y2K classic that some adore as a playful, sweet, feminine hug, while others can't get past its perceived synthetic edge or cloying sweetness. Expect compliments, or a headache - there's no middle ground for Can Can.
Statement
Our Verdict - Hugo XX Eau de Parfum
Hugo XX is a divisive scent, loved by many for its nostalgia and soft femininity, but equally dismissed as generic or synthetic. Expect a pleasant, if unremarkable, fruity floral that might just be your signature or a headache in a bottle.
