Which Should You Buy?
A divisive floral powerhouse, Pleasures is either a timeless, clean classic or a screechy, headache-inducing scrubber. Its vibrant green-floral intensity makes it a love-it-or-hate-it scent with serious staying power.
This is a clean-cut, soapy white floral that divides opinion. Fans love its creamy, fresh scent, hailing it as a mature Dove soap akin to Nivea cream. Detractors find it too sharp, headache-inducing, or reminiscent of old-fashioned talc.
