You absolutely cannot go wrong with Catie’s Bubbles. I think that’s because they have been around for a long time, producing consistently excellent products, and we kind of take them for granted. I’d put Stirling Soap Co. in that category as well. As usual, the underdog gets my vote. Today’s competition will be interesting.
Yesterday I used the Unilever release of Brut and today I used Fabergé’s original product. I can definitely tell a difference. The Unilever product is more heavy handed and one dimensional, whereas the Fabergé product is less strong, has a subtle spice note to it, and is far more nuanced. Given that I am anything but nuanced, YMMV.
