Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Fragile
This isn't 'Fragile' at all. It's a bold, spicy tuberose with serious vintage glamour, best worn when you want to make a statement. Prepare for compliments; just don't expect a delicate flower.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Delicate For Women
A budget take on Gianfranco Ferre's Fragile - the same creamy tuberose dusted with raspberry and pink pepper over soft woods. Delicate lands the tuberose-and-fruit signature but renders it a touch flatter and shorter-lived than the 1999 original, with the cheaper pink-pepper bite a little louder up top.
