Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Chant d'Aromes EDP
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.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Charles of the Ritz EDP
A lost icon, Charles of the Ritz is a powerful, elegant floral amber that evokes deep nostalgia for those who remember it. It's a divisive scent, but undeniably a classic that many still desperately try to track down.

Season and Occasion Fit

Chant d'Aromes

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.

Charles of the Ritz

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its enormous sillage and longevity, this is definitely not an office-friendly scent in its original form. It shines best in formal settings or during romantic evenings where its powerful presence can be appreciated without overwhelming a small space.
