Which Should You Buy?
Guerlain's Fève Gourmande is a divisive beast. For some, it's a sublime, boozy chocolate masterpiece - Christmas in a bottle. For others, it's a short-lived, dusty Tootsie Roll or even medicinal cherry syrup. Sample it before you drop serious cash.
This much-hyped clone of YSL Tuxedo is a divisive beast. While some laud its uncanny resemblance and value, many find it lacking in depth and performance, often needing a long 'maceration' period to truly shine.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
This gourmand is quite rich and luxurious, making it fantastic for dates and formal occasions where its seductive warmth can shine. Its moderate sillage and longevity mean it's not overpowering, but perhaps too indulgent for a typical office environment where something fresher might be preferred.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its sophisticated, warm spicy and amber profile lends itself well to formal events and date nights. Lower performance reported by many users means it wouldn't be overwhelming in an office, but it's not a casual wear or sport scent.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Patchouli, Warm Spicy, Woody accords and Patchouli, Spicy notes
