Which Should You Buy?
A divisive one, Ilía Secreto is a bold, dark-sweet fruity bomb. You'll either adore its rich, wine-like plum and grape, or find it overwhelmingly cloying. Not for the faint-hearted, this is a perfume that demands attention.
This is a seriously divisive fragrance! Love it, loathe it, or merely tolerate it, everyone's got an opinion, but most agree it smells like a cheaper Viva La Juicy. It's a sweet, playful scent, but be warned: the longevity is truly dreadful for most.
