Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Iris Ganache Eau de Parfum
This discontinued Guerlain gem has reached legendary status, creating a fervent, almost desperate following. It's a sweet, powdery iris-chocolate dream that consistently evokes strong, often ecstatic, reactions, making it a true 'holy grail' for many, despite some finding it too sweet or 'plastic'.

Our Verdict - Farah Eau de Parfum
A divisive one, this. Brecourt Farah is either a phenomenal, warm gourmand with an Arabian flair, or a synthetic, overly sweet concoction trying too hard to emulate better-known scents. If you love honeyed cinnamon and dates, you might be in for a treat.
