How would you like to wear your favourite scent at a fraction of a price?
“The bottle is plain and clear with a beige label so don’t expect a fancy designer looking bottle. However once I spayed the perfume I was immediately hit by floral notes and was surprised in how much it smelt the same as Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb.”
