Which Should You Buy?
Lyric Woman is a divisive beast, a deep, complex rose for the seasoned palate. Some find it a gothic masterpiece, others a dusty relic, but everyone agrees it's a bold statement.
A tragically discontinued masterpiece, YSL Nu EDP still commands a cult following for its deep, sensual spice and incense. Many lament its loss, while others cherish their "hockey puck" bottles like precious relics. This is Y2K dark glamour, polarising but unforgettable.
