Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Promesse Eau de Parfum

A bittersweet symphony for many, Promesse is a much-missed fruity floral that perfectly captured its era. Once a youthful crowd-pleaser, its current inflated price and propensity to turn are a sad reality for those nostalgic for its charm.

Acquired

Our Verdict - Ixbeta Extrait

If you're after a loud, creamy, fruity floral with a hint of violet candy, Ixbeta delivers by the bucket-load. Not one for the subtle, this fragrance is bold and unapologetic, guaranteed to get you noticed, for better or worse.

Best For:

Also Works:

Office

Its moderate sillage and fruity-floral character make it acceptable for casual wear and dates, but it's generally too light and sweet for formal settings. While some found it strong, most reviews indicated a soft projection, making it suitable for daytime but less impactful for evenings.
