Which Should You Buy?
White Shoulders is a divisive classic. It's either an iconic, beautiful white floral with a vintage allure, or an "old lady" scent with an overpowering, synthetic edge. You'll either adore its soapy, clean bouquet or be utterly repulsed; there's little middle ground.
This budget-friendly scent will have people asking what niche perfume you're wearing. It's a fresh, feminine floral that punches well above its weight, even if some find it a bit too close to Alien or a touch artificial.
