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.
This one's a divisive, dark amber. Some reckon it's a mysterious, sensual masterpiece with temple vibes, while others find it a cloying, dated mess. Definitely one to try before you commit, as it pushes strong opinions.
