Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Les Absolus d'Orient Encens Mythique Eau de Parfum

This one's proper divisive, isn't it? Love it or hate it, Encens Mythique is a Guerlain stunner that either evokes ancient cathedrals and nautical whimsy or... a public loo. An unmissable olfactive journey, assuming your nose isn't broken.

Our Verdict - Encens Mythique D'Orient Eau de Parfum

Encens Mythique D'Orient is a true 'love it or hate it' scent, notorious for its controversial ambergris and aldehydes. Some find it a masterpiece of airy, luxurious incense and rose, others can't stand the funky, 'burning electronics' vibe. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but a must-try for the adventurous.
