Which Should You Buy?
A divisive blend of powdery rose and sharp pink pepper, Mademoiselle Ricci is either a creamy, romantic dream for some or a headache-inducing throwback to 'old-fashioned' scents for others. Test before you commit, as skin chemistry is everything here.
This one's a proper divisive scent. Some find it a fresh, elegant rose for a 'princess', others reckon it's a cheap, old-fashioned floral that screams 'headache'. It seems to be a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with a few finding a middle ground after the initial peppery hit fades.
