Softer and fruitier, it lacks the original's austere, almost medicinal patchouli edge.

Our take

The perfume that launched the gourmand category, setting candyfloss, red fruit and honey against a dark, earthy patchouli. It is sweet and austere in the same breath, and divides opinion as strongly today as it did on release.
