Which Should You Buy?
This one is a proper 'love it or hate it' scent, no two ways about it. Expect compliments from its admirers and raised eyebrows from those who find its rose and patchouli combo a bit much. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
This isn't your average Victoria's Secret fare - it's a divisive throwback, earning both passionate adoration and strong 'old lady' accusations. Expect a bold, confident statement, not a subtle crowd-pleaser.
