Which Should You Buy?
This one is pure 'quiet luxury' bottled- a soft, sophisticated leather scent that's either a masterful, ethereal experience or a faint whiff of disappointment. Your nose's mileage may vary, but it's an undeniable Jean-Claude Ellena classic.
This mimosa fragrance is a bit of a mixed bag; some find it a delightful, fresh take on the floral, while others are put off by its distinctive opening notes and powdery dry down. Definitely one to sample before committing.
