This is Guerlain's legendary vanilla, but it's a divisive one. Many find it exquisite, a rich and boozy dream, while others rage about its weak performance and high price. You might love it, or you might find yourself anosmic to its charms entirely. Sample first, and pray your nose isn't broken.

Two Flavours chases Guerlain's revered Spiritueuse Double Vanille - that boozy, smoky vanilla laced with incense, a soft floral heart and resinous benzoin. The dark-vanilla mood lands, but it reads flatter and sweeter, missing the original's complex booziness and slow, smoky elegance.
