Which Should You Buy?
A divisive yet frequently adored green vanilla, Angélique Noire balances warmth and freshness unlike anything else. While some find it too green, too powdery, or even 'celery-like', its fans hail it as a sophisticated, elegant masterpiece for a reason. Don't dismiss it until you've tried it on skin.
No.697 reproduces Guerlain Angelique Noire's central pairing of bitter-fresh angelica against warm vanilla, but leans the balance further toward sweetness than the original's more restrained, cool-green vanilla character.
