Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - L'Occitan Eau de Toilette

L'Occitan is a calm, spiced-up lavender that gets called natural and good quality by its fans, but slammed as musty-medicinal or simply *boring* by its detractors. If you're after a classic-leaning, understated lavender scent, this one's probably for you. Just don't expect it to last longer than a few hours.

Statement

Our Verdict - Spice Blend Eau de Parfum

Spice Blend is a captivating, if divisive, take on the classic spice profile by Dior. It's often compared to popular spiced fragrances but offers a more refined, airy, and nuanced experience. While some lament its linearity or perceived lack of projection, many praise its elegance and versatility.
