Which Should You Buy?
A divisive yet iconic Y2K fruity-floral, Paris Hilton's debut fragrance is either a "sexy princess" revelation or a screechy hairspray bomb. Expect compliments, but be warned: this throwback isn't for everyone.
A budget take on Ralph Lauren's discontinued Ralph Wild. Mallet On Fire captures the juicy strawberry-and-watermelon burst over a soft floral-musk that defines the original, but Perfume Parlour's version reads more balanced and rounded where Ralph Wild was greener, and the staying power stays modest, much like the fleeting original.
