Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Attraction Eau de Parfum
This discontinued Lancôme beauty is a controversial one. Some find it a timeless, sophisticated masterpiece - a true "real woman" scent. Others are repulsed by what they describe as a sharp, cleaning-fluid-like nastiness. Love it or hate it, it aims for classic femininity.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Cross of Asia Eau de Parfum
This is a gorgeous, classy white and yellow floral, providing it aligns with your skin's chemistry. Some find it a bit sharp or even "pissy" on their skin, but for many, it's a balanced, luxurious experience.
