Rose Water & Vanilla Cologne vs Mon Guerlain Extrait Extrait
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
This one is a seriously divisive gourmand, hitting all the right notes for some but a synthetic, cloying disaster for others. It’s got that Love Don't Be Shy vibe for a fraction of the price, if you can get past the initial sharp blast.
This Extrait is the Mon Guerlain DNA dialled up to eleven, refined and smoothed out into an indulgent experience. It's pricey, no doubt, but if you're chasing that 'Nirvana' feeling, many find it’s worth every penny.
