Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Plume Blanche 1901 Eau de Parfum

A creamy, almond-heavy gourmand that manages to be both luxurious and comforting. While some find its performance fleeting, its captivating aroma and stunning bottle make it a cherished collector's piece for many.

Our Verdict - Tonka Imperiale Eau de Parfum

This much-hyped Guerlain masterpiece, now infamously discontinued and reformulated, evokes extreme devotion and frustration in equal measure. A rich, sweet tonka-almond dream to some; an overpriced, underperforming disappointment to others.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual Formal

Tonka Imperiale Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its rich, deep, and often described as 'opulent' profile, coupled with strong performance (for some), makes it less suitable for an office environment. However, its sophisticated and sensual character is perfect for dates, special evenings, and formal events where it can truly shine without being overwhelming.
