Which Should You Buy?
This is a real marmite scent - you'll either adore its warm, golden embrace or find it a bit too much. Sublime is a truly classic, sophisticated floral that demands attention, but be warned: reformulations divide opinion, so hunt for a vintage bottle if you want the full, unadulterated experience.
A divisive yet iconic '90s amber floral, Rapture is truly a love-it-or-hate-it scent. For some, it's a nostalgic trip back to Victoria's Secret's boldest era; for others, it's an overpowering "granny" fragrance best left in the past. One thing's for sure: it's anything but subtle.

Occasions
