Which Should You Buy?
Rose Chérie is a divisive, high-price Guerlain offering that splits opinion. You'll either adore its flirtatious, powdery rose and marzipan sweetness or find it an overpriced reformulation that's too sweet for its own good.
A comforting, easy-wearing rose and vanilla combo. Cafe Intense takes a little while to mature, with an intially dominant rose settling into a creamy, coffee-kissed vanilla aura. It's a crowd-pleasing, low-key scent for those who like their florals enveloped in warmth.
