Which Should You Buy?
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.
This "fruitchouli" is a divisive one. There's a clear 'love it or hate it' vibe, with many finding it classy and addictive, while others recoil from a synthetic, dated feel. It aims for refined elegance but lands differently on everyone's skin.
