Vanitas Eau de Parfum vs Classique X Jewel Edition 2011 Eau de Toilette
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
This is a lovely white floral, safe and inoffensive, if a little 'generic' or 'clean shampoo'. Perfect for those who want a fresh, feminine scent that's elegant without trying too hard, though some find it sharp or 'old ladyish'.
This one's a fresh, uplifting floral with a surprisingly strong backbone. Don't let the 'Jewel Edition' fool you - it's a classy all-rounder that's still got some serious oomph and excellent staying power, making it a well-loved choice for those who appreciate longevity.
