Which Should You Buy?
This YR classic is a divisive aquatic floral, either a watery dream or a sharp, uninspired mess. Expect gentle peace or a 'meh' experience, depending on your nose.
This is a seriously divisive white floral from Mariah Carey. You'll either adore its sparkling fresh apple and creamy tuberose with impressive staying power, or you'll find it sharp, sour, and a one-way ticket to Headache City. Blind buy with extreme caution.
