Which Should You Buy?
Divisive yet utterly charming, Tocade is a sweet, powdery vanilla-rose bomb for those who appreciate a playful, slightly retro vibe. Ignore the weird bottle, this one's a cult classic that hits different for everyone.
This perfume is a time capsule, embodying a classic, complex floral chypre style that feels far older than its 2011 launch. It's a love-it-or-find-it-odd scent, depending on your appreciation for old-school perfumery, and performs best in cooler weather.
