Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Queen
This perfume is a controversial crowd-pleaser; many declare it a 'La Vie Est Belle' dupe, but some find it too sweet or dated. If you want a fruity take on a beloved classic with impressive longevity, this is for you.
Acquired
Our Verdict - La Vivacité
This one's a cheeky clone, no doubt, but the general consensus is that it's a softer, more versatile take on the original's overly sweet character. You're getting bang for your buck here, with performance that won't let you down and a scent profile that's widely appealing.
