Which Should You Buy?
A bittersweet symphony for many, Promesse is a much-missed fruity floral that perfectly captured its era. Once a youthful crowd-pleaser, its current inflated price and propensity to turn are a sad reality for those nostalgic for its charm.
This one's a divisive summer fling. Some find it a delightful, juicy escapism for hot weather, while others are put off by a cloying sweetness and surprisingly short-lived magic. Definitely don't blind buy; try before you commit.
