Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Fairytale
A divisive but much-loved B&BW hit, Fairytale promises enchanting florals and amber warmth. Many proclaim it a high-end dupe for YSL Libre, but others find it too sweet or even headache-inducing. Its enchanting longevity, particularly for a mist, has created a cult following.

Our Verdict - Olympéa Absolu
This flanker strips back the original Olympéa's saltiness for a rich, warm amber-vanilla. It's a crowd-pleaser that leans into sweet sophistication, though some find it a touch generic. Perfect for those who love a plush, enveloping scent that lasts.
