Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Tonka Imperiale EDP
This much-hyped Guerlain masterpiece, now infamously discontinued and reformulated, evokes extreme devotion and frustration in equal measure. A rich, sweet tonka-almond dream to some; an overpriced, underperforming disappointment to others.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Supreme L'Homme EDP
A truly divisive citrus aromatic, Supreme L'Homme struggles to find its own identity. Some love it as a versatile all-rounder for the price, others find it a watered-down disappointment that barely performs.

Season and Occasion Fit

Tonka Imperiale

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its rich, deep, and often described as 'opulent' profile, coupled with strong performance (for some), makes it less suitable for an office environment. However, its sophisticated and sensual character is perfect for dates, special evenings, and formal events where it can truly shine without being overwhelming.

Supreme L'Homme

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its moderate sillage and 'just right' projection make it suitable for the office and casual wear, though some reviewers noted poor longevity. The blend of fresh and woody accords allows for versatility, but it might not stand out enough for formal events or be fresh enough for sport.
