Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Private Collection
A legendary green floral from the 70s, Private Collection is a divisive scent: you'll either love its crisp, retro elegance and confident swagger, or find it a bit too sharp and 'vintage'. It’s an acquired taste for some, but a timeless masterpiece for others.
