Flowerchain is described as a white violet and sandalwood perfume, while Rouge smells like amber and warm woods.
Beauty Glow Girl said: "Passion is supposed to be like Carolina Herrera’s Good Girl which [costs £139 for a 100ml refiallable]." She added: "Cerise is supposed to smell like Tom Ford’s Lost Cherry which costs an eye watering £390 for 100ml.
