Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - In Love Again EDP
This YSL classic is pure bottled sunshine, a fruity floral marvel that makes people happy despite its frustratingly elusive nature. Often compared to Baby Doll, it's a superior, joyous scent with a passionately loyal fanbase that will move mountains to get another bottle.

Our Verdict - Head Over Heels For Women EDP
A budget take on YSL In Love Again. Head Over Heels captures the bright grapefruit-and-berry fruity-floral signature, but the dupe pushes the fruit juicier and sweeter while the airy, elegant transparency that made Jean-Claude Ellena's original a fruity-floral benchmark reads simpler and shorter-lived.
