Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Idylle Eau de Parfum
Idylle is Guerlain's crowd-pleasing floral, often compared to Narciso Rodriguez For Her, delivering a beautiful, clean bouquet. Despite some lamenting its 'mainstream' nature, it's a timeless, elegant choice for those who love a sophisticated floral musk.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Sable Noir Eau de Parfum
Sable Noir is an unexpectedly juicy rose, a modern take that's far from your granny's potpourri. It rides the line between jammy and fresh, making it a surprisingly versatile and genuinely pleasant wear that's winning over the unconvinced.
