Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - L'Heure Bleue Eau de Toilette
L'Heure Bleue is a divisive classic. Some find it a timeless masterpiece, a comforting embrace from another era, while others can't get past its "old-fashioned" powderiness and medicinal tones. Definitely one to try before you buy.
Statement
Our Verdict - Volkamaria Eau de Parfum
This is a lovely everyday scent, a close cousin to Lipstick Rose, though perhaps even better balanced. It's a tragedy it's so hard to hunt down.
