Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive beast. Some reckon it's a masterpiece, a classic Guerlain spicy aromatic with a classy air. Others, though, smell cheap designer vibes or even, bizarrely, raw egg. Definitely one to try before you buy.
This one's a proper Guerlain. It’s got that signature smooth, elegant vibe that screams quality, though its character can be a bit of a chameleon, shifting from sharp to creamy and causing a bit of a love/hate split. Underrated but definitely a winner for sandalwood lovers.
