Which Should You Buy?
A truly gorgeous, refined benzoin-incense masterpiece that Guerlain inexplicably chopped. Bois d'Armenie is a sophisticated, comforting scent that everyone seems to be scrambling to get their hands on before it's gone for good.
If you're seeking a sophisticated, amber-woody iris for cooler weather and can handle a slightly rough opening, this is a gem. It’s punching well above its weight for the price, especially if you miss a certain discontinued Guerlain.
