Which Should You Buy?
This Avon-Lacroix collaboration is a surprisingly bold, peppery floral that punches well above its weight. Despite its bargain price tag, it’s a confident, attention-grabbing scent - though some find its strong personality a bit much.
This perfume is a divisive one - some find it a gorgeous, long-lasting floral musk, while others deem it an 'obnoxious hammer to the fingernails'. It's not a safe blind buy, so sample before you commit.
