Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - L'Instant de Guerlain EDP
A honeyed floral classic with luminous citrus and creamy amber - radiant, refined, and deeply feminine. L'Instant de Guerlain EDP is a golden embrace that balances sweetness and sophistication.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Amsterdam EDP
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Tom Ford Velvet Orchid (2014) - bergamot, black orchid and vanilla translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.
