Which Should You Buy?
A legendary green floral from the 90s, Parfum d'Ete is adored for its fresh, dewy garden scent - but only the vintage, original formulation. Don't touch the newer stuff, it's a travesty.
This is a divisive one. Dolceacqua aims for modern elegance but some find it too vintage, even 'matronly'. If you like classic soapy florals, particularly mimosa and lily of the valley, and crave a 'modernised' Chanel No. 5 vibe, this could be for you. Others find it unexpectedly salty or bitter and reminiscent of 'dusty mothballs'.
