Which Should You Buy?
A divisive Y2K classic that some adore as a playful, sweet, feminine hug, while others can't get past its perceived synthetic edge or cloying sweetness. Expect compliments, or a headache - there's no middle ground for Can Can.
Jamila is a wildly divisive scent. For some, it's a 'beautiful', 'addictive' fruity-floral musk that's perfect for everyday wear. Others find it 'shrill', 'synthetic', and smelling of 'spicy saliva' or even 'infection'. Proceed with caution.
