Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - de Lacoste L.12.12 Pour Elle Magnetic EDT
This one is a divisive little fruit bomb. Some adore its sweet, tropical embrace, while others find it a cloying, headache-inducing mess. If you're after a loud, vanilla-laden mango dream, you're in for a treat; otherwise, approach with caution.
