Which Should You Buy?
Lalibela by Memo Paris is a deeply polarising one. Some adore its creamy, sophisticated floral-gourmand sweetness, finding it addictive and elegant. Others find it dated, cloying, even plastic-like - a true love-it-or-hate-it scent.
This is a gutsy white floral, not for the faint of heart. Expect a heady, almost 'dirty' floral experience with serious staying power. It's properly loved by those who want to make a statement, but could be too much for some.
