Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bois d'Armenie EDP
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.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Ikat Rouge EDP
If you can get your hands on this limited edition, prepare for an amber-woody sensation that's worth the fuss. It's a seductive showstopper, albeit with a price tag that had some reviewers wishing for a muscular man or diamonds included.

Occasions

Best For:
