Which Should You Buy?
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.
Majestic Beans chases Guerlain Tonka Imperiale, the discontinued marzipan-tonka oriental. The powdery tonka and tobacco heart with its almond sweetness comes through, but Perfume Parlour skips the original's incense-laced elegance and herbal contrast, rendering it sweeter, simpler and less refined.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
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.
Seasons
A sweet, powdery tonka oriental made for cold weather; it shines in autumn and winter and feels cloying in summer heat.
Occasions
Its cosy elegance suits evenings, dates and dressed-up occasions, with enough refinement for formal settings; less at home in the office or sport.
