Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ma Chérie Eau de Parfum
A beloved lavender-powder bomb, Ma Chérie is pure bottled nostalgia for Brazilians. It's a comforting scent, even if some find it a bit too childish or fleeting for everyday adult wear. Definitely a trip down memory lane in a bottle.
Statement
Our Verdict - Imperial Gold Eau de Parfum
If a fresh, citrusy blast is what you're after without breaking the bank, Imperial Gold delivers. It's a crowd-pleasing, dependable clone that might lack a bit of evolution, but it certainly gets the job done for the price.
