Which Should You Buy?
A legendary green floral from the 90s, Parfum d'Ete is adored for its fresh, dewy garden scent - but only the vintage, original formulation. Don't touch the newer stuff, it's a travesty.
This perfume is a divisive '90s floral bombshell, often described as a 'flowerbomb' that's either breathtakingly beautiful or overwhelmingly aggressive. Some find it a clean, soft floral, others a beast mode scent that refuses to be ignored. You'll either adore its loud, honeyed sweetness or find it a scrubbing challenge.
