Which Should You Buy?
A divisive floral, Le Baiser by Lalique is either a beautiful, classic violet-rose bouquet for a refined lady, or a sickly sweet, old-fashioned scent fit only for your grandma. People feel strongly about this one, for better or worse.
This polarizing violet-centric fragrance is either a dark, sweet, and sensual masterpiece or smells like burnt plastic, rubber, and regret. There's no middle ground, so sample first unless you're feeling adventurous.
