Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pure Quartz EDP
Pure Quartz recreates Bvlgari's Omnia Amethyste, the graceful iris-and-rose floral. It captures the green-grapefruit sparkle and that soft, powdery iris-rose heart, but the dupe smooths the original's velvety refinement and wears closer; since Amethyste itself is a light, personal-bubble scent, the dupe's modest performance lands close to type.

Our Verdict - Eau de Lacoste L.12.12 Pour Elle Elegant EDP
A perfectly pleasant, if unremarkable, fresh-floral that evokes clean linen and summer days. It's broadly liked as an everyday scent, though some find it a bit too generic to be truly 'elegant'.
