Which Should You Buy?
This one's a true beast, powerful and uncompromising. Le Lion is a masterclass in challenging elegance, it's not a crowd-pleaser for everyone, but if it clicks, it truly roars. Definitely not for the fainthearted; it demands a wearer who can match its gravitas.
This one's a bit of a head-scratcher and a potential dupe. Reviewers are split between 'banging' and 'basic', with several pointing out its striking resemblance to Dior's Vanilla Diorama.

The strong amber and sweet gourmand accords make this more suited for evening and cooler weather occasions. While it has some citrus at the start, its overall depth might be a bit much for a conservative office environment, but it's perfect for making a statement on a date or at a formal event.
