Can Can Eau de Parfum vs Hareem Al Sultan Blue
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
A divisive Y2K classic that some adore as a playful, sweet, feminine hug, while others can't get past its perceived synthetic edge or cloying sweetness. Expect compliments, or a headache - there's no middle ground for Can Can.
Hareem Al Sultan Blue is a wonderfully divisive, sweet-tangy fragrance. Embrace the candied lemon and white floral punch, because it definitely punches hard and lasts ages. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent, but for those who love it, boy, do they love it.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
