Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lys 41 EDP
A creamy white floral with a rich, musky undertone that envelops the wearer in luminous, sensual warmth. Lys 41 is an opulent, grown-up floral for those who want to feel both radiant and serene.

Our Verdict - Insulo Extrait
Insulo is a divisive vanilla bomb that promises deep, gourmand warmth, delivering plenty of compliments along the way. Some get coffee and creme brulee, others get a cat pee opening - sample first, this ain't a safe blind buy.
