Which Should You Buy?
A truly divisive 80s powerhouse, Carolina Herrera is a bombastic white floral that screams 'boss lady' to some and 'old lady' to others. Definitely not a blind buy unless you live for huge tuberose and unapologetic civet.
A divisive floral powerhouse from the 90s, Blue Lady is a love-it-or-hate-it scent. Some adore its long-lasting, heavy white floral trail, while others find it screechy and synthetic. If you like your florals bold and loud, this budget-friendly classic is worth a sniff.

Its 'powerhouse' nature means it can overwhelm in casual, close-quarter situations.
