Which Should You Buy?
This one is a real divisive little number. Some adore its sophisticated, non-gourmand vanilla and iris blend, finding it beautifully understated. Others are left scratching their heads, detecting everything from bleach to band-aids. Test before you invest in this quiet chameleon.
Prepare for a proper chypre. This one isn't messing about, delivering a sophisticated yet unashamedly vintage vibe that demands attention and respect. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent, so don't expect to blend into the background.
