Which Should You Buy?
Michael Kors Sexy Amber is wildly divisive: some find it a cosy, underrated delight, a "my skin but better" scent with vintage charm. Others are utterly repulsed, calling it an "animal piss" and "old lady" nightmare. Love it or hate it, it's certainly not boring.
This one's a timeless charmer, harking back to an earlier era but still completely relevant. It’s discreetly elegant, surprisingly good value, and won't offend a soul.
