Which Should You Buy?
A divisive fresh floral that demands a good maceration period, Layaan is either a beautiful pear and white floral dream or a powdery, even 'gasoline-like' misfire. Wait it out and you might just get a nuclear bomb of sweetness.
Florence is a divisive, full-throttle white floral that polarises with its heady bouquet. For tuberose and gardenia lovers, it's a triumph; for others, a 'beast mode' assault that veers into cleaning product territory.
