Which Should You Buy?
This perfume is a divisive one. Many find it light, fresh, and perfectly pleasant, like a high-end shampoo. But a vocal minority label it generic, synthetic, and overpriced, offering a 'shampoo vibe' that's more a curse than a compliment. Try before you buy, unless you really love smelling like freshly washed hair.
Desire Blue is a curiously divisive blue frag, with some loving its fresh, fruity sweetness and claiming it's unique, whilst others find it unbearably synthetic, cloying, and an all-round scrubber. A 'love-it-or-hate-it' without much middle ground, but often found cheap, so you can test the waters yourself.
