Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper Marmite scent - you'll either adore its sweet, berry-rose charm or find it a bit too much. It's affordable, punches above its weight in performance, and has a strong resemblance to YSL Parisienne for those in the know. Blind buy at your own risk.
This one's a bit of a gamble. While some find it a delightful, fresh burst of fruit and florals, others are outright offended by what they perceive as a cheap, synthetic lemon assault. Approach with caution, but if you're lucky, it's a budget-friendly sunny day in a bottle.
