Which Should You Buy?
A legendary scent, Emeraude is a classic for a reason - often compared to Shalimar but with its own distinct charm. Sadly, modern formulations struggle to capture the magic of the originals, leading to a love-hate divide.
Note Vanillée is a divisive beast, with some hailing its boozy vanilla as a sophisticated dream, while others are left reeling from what they perceive as an "old lady" floral mess or even (gasp!) pickle juice. Don't blind buy this one, unless you fancy a gamble.
