Which Should You Buy?
This is Guerlain's take on a gentle tuberose, stripped of its indolic punch and enveloped in green freshness and signature vanilla. It's a delicate beauty, easy to wear and almost universally appealing, though some lament its polite projection given the price.
This one's a proper grown-up scent, demanding a certain gravitas from its wearer. Expect full-on green and white floral opulence, with some feeling it's a bit much after a few hours. It’s certainly not for the faint of heart, but those who 'get it' absolutely adore its complex, classic charm.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and fresh, elegant white floral character make it perfectly suited for office wear, lunches, and casual daytime events. However, its often-criticised light sillage and skin-scent dry down means it won't stand out for formal nights or strong enough for sporting activities.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Given its significant projection and long-lasting nature, Spirit is best reserved for formal occasions where it can truly shine without overpowering. Its bold character makes it less suitable for casual wear or the office, but it would certainly make an impression on a date.
