Which Should You Buy?
A truly divisive fantasy in a bottle; Le Premier is either an enchanting, nostalgic trip or a cloying, headache-inducing mess. This sweet, powdery, licorice-heavy perfume is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but for those who love it, a magical signature scent is found.
This is a seriously divisive one, folks. Some call it an elegant, delicious cherry-vanilla pastry, a dead ringer for Cuir Beluga. Others recoil, smelling everything from wet tissue and medicinal cough syrup to mothballs and a grimy public loo. Try before you buy, unless you're feeling adventurous.
