Which Should You Buy?
This is a real marmite scent - you'll either adore its warm, golden embrace or find it a bit too much. Sublime is a truly classic, sophisticated floral that demands attention, but be warned: reformulations divide opinion, so hunt for a vintage bottle if you want the full, unadulterated experience.
This one's a divisive floral. Some find it a truly authentic, sensual magnolia with great presence, while others get a sharp, soapy, or even 'old plant water' vibe. Definitely try before you buy to see which camp you fall into.
