Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Attraction EDP
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.

Our Verdict - Bait EDP
Bait copies Lancome's discontinued Attraction - the same softly blended white-floral bouquet over a creamy musk, cedar and vanilla base. The budget version captures the polite, skin-close elegance but reads a little flatter, with the florals less seamlessly melded.
