Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Silver Iris Eau de Parfum
Silver Iris is a love-it-or-hate-it kind of iris, taking you on a journey through powdery, fruity, and sometimes divisive 'lipstick' notes. It's a gorgeous scent for those who click with its unique vibe, but don't expect beast-mode performance.

Our Verdict - La Vie Est Belle L’ Florale Eau de Toilette
A divisive flanker, this attempts to lighten the iconic LVEB DNA with a floral touch. Many find it fresher and less cloying than the original, while others declare it barely different or outright bad. Expect floral sweetness to the max, but without the praline.
