Which Should You Buy?
This anniversary edition is what the original Lovely by SJP should have been all along. It's the same beloved scent, but dialled up a notch, with richer musk and better longevity. If you loved the classic, you'll adore this perfected version.
X-Cite Sensible chases Dior Eau Sauvage, Roudnitska's 1966 masterpiece of citrus, jasmine and oakmoss. It captures that understated, gentlemanly elegance, but renders flatter and skin-close, the timeless original's petal-like delicacy thinned for a budget price.
