Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Néroli Outrenoir
Divisive yet adored, Néroli Outrenoir is a fascinating journey. It's a smoky, earthy black tea with a bright citrus kick, often likened to luxury hotel lobbies, though some find it too sweet or simply too subtle for the price.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Noir Neroli
Noir Neroli interprets Guerlain's Neroli Outrenoir - that bright neroli-citrus shadowed by smoky tea. The dupe captures the smoked-tea-and-blossom contrast but renders it flatter and less luminous, with the resinous depth and longevity falling short of the niche original.
