Lovely Eau de Parfum vs 254 Acqua di Parma Colonia Eau de Parfum
ScentArt
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.
A close, well-researched match to Colonia's unchanged-since-1916 citrus-lavender-rose formula, confirmed against the real fragrance's published notes.
