Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Terracotta Le
This perfume is a triumph of sophisticated summer. Forget the 'sunscreen vibe' detractors - Terracotta is a luxurious, creamy floral escape, blending tropical warmth with Guerlain's signature elegance. It's sunshine in a bottle, perfect for those seeking an elevated summer scent.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Fired Clay
A budget take on Guerlain Terracotta Le Parfum. The tropical tiare-and-coconut opening, creamy white-floral heart and sweet vanilla drydown all come through, but the dupe wears flatter and skin-closer - the layered solar warmth and longevity of the original are softened.
