Which Should You Buy?
This Serge Lutens creation is a divisive one. You'll either find it a seductive, dark, and elegant lavender masterpiece or a surprisingly unoriginal 'dad's aftershave' that's overtly masculine. It's certainly a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with little middle ground.
This one's a proper crowd-pleaser, delivering the perfect balance of sweet, clean, and comforting. Prepare for compliments - it's an addictive, radiant honey-lavender scent that's truly irresistible.
