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.

Our Verdict - Rumeur Eau de Parfum
This one's proper divisive. For some, it's a classy, clean floral, but for others, it's a harsh, old-fashioned nightmare of nail polish remover. Try before you buy, unless you're feeling adventurous.
