Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Alchimie
A legendary, much-missed masterpiece, Alchimie is either an intoxicating, complex floriental dream or a muddled, cucumber-pickled nightmare depending on your skin chemistry. The passion for its return is palpable, a true testament to its unique, divisive charm.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Prism Classic
A divisive yet intriguing scent layering a classic white floral bouquet with an unexpectedly dark and earthy undercurrent. It's either an exotic dream or a perplexing blend, with not much in-between.
