Which Should You Buy?
A truly gorgeous, spa-like citrus aromatic that's inexplicably holed up in luxury hotel bathrooms. The public's clamouring for it proves Miller Harris is missing a trick - release this gem properly!
This one's a definite hit-or-miss. For some, it's a wonderfully fresh and clean budget gem; for others, it's a harsh, chemical disappointment with terrible performance. Don't blind buy, and don't expect anything groundbreaking - it's a bog-standard 'blue' scent.
