Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rare Gold Eau de Parfum

A divisive but cheap and cheerful '90s floral aldehyde. Some say it's a classy powerhouse; others say 'old lady soap'. If you're a vintage lover, give it a go, for everyone else, maybe avoid a blind buy.

Our Verdict - Chant d'Aromes Eau de Parfum

Chant d'Aromes is a truly divisive Guerlain. Some find it a timeless, comforting classic, while others reckon it's a dated aldehyde bomb best left to grandmothers. You'll either love its vintage charm or find it hopelessly out of touch.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Several reviews highlight its warmth, elegance, and assertiveness, making it suitable for date nights or formal gatherings where a noticeable presence is desired. However, its strong projection and heavier floral-aldehydic character might be too overpowering for an office setting or casual daytime wear, as some found it 'too loud'.

Seasons

Best For:

Spring

Also Works:

Summer

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:

Casual

Also Works:

Office Date Formal

Its moderate projection and often-described 'clean' or 'soapy' character make it suitable for office wear, especially in its later, softer stages. While elegant enough for formal settings, its distinct vintage feel might not appeal to everyone on a date. Many reviewers suggest it's a relaxed, everyday scent.
