Which Should You Buy?
This discontinued Lancôme beauty is a controversial one. Some find it a timeless, sophisticated masterpiece - a true "real woman" scent. Others are repulsed by what they describe as a sharp, cleaning-fluid-like nastiness. Love it or hate it, it aims for classic femininity.
This is simply one of the best leather fragrances out there, a rich, complex scent that's been tragically discontinued. Owners love it, and if you can snag a bottle, prepare for an absolute masterpiece that'll turn heads and leave a lasting impression.
