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 - Amber Mayfair EDP
Amber Mayfair delivers a lovely, warm amber scent, but its performance leaves a bit to be desired for the price. A solid choice if you're after a sophisticated skin scent, but don't expect it to project across the room.

Season and Occasion Fit

Bois d'Armenie

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its refined and warm character makes it ideal for dates and formal events, creating an elegant impression. While its projection is generally subtle to average, it's suitable for office wear, but less so for casual daytime activities or anything sporty due to its rich, resinous profile.

Amber Mayfair

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Office Formal
Also Works:
Date Casual

Its moderate projection makes it suitable for office wear, avoiding anything too overpowering. The warm, sophisticated amber base works well for dates or formal events, though its average longevity means it might fade over a longer evening. It's a bit too refined for active casual or sport settings.
