Which Should You Buy?
This one is a seriously divisive gourmand, hitting all the right notes for some but a synthetic, cloying disaster for others. It’s got that Love Don't Be Shy vibe for a fraction of the price, if you can get past the initial sharp blast.
A delicious, sweet gourmand with a fresh, fruity twist - Mariah Carey's Dreams is a crowd-pleaser that delivers surprising depth and longevity for its price. If you can still find it, grab it; it's a cult classic that's only getting rarer.
