Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vol de Nuit Eau de Parfum
Vol de Nuit is Guerlain's most cerebral classic. It's a complex, melancholic beauty and a true experience, though the modern EDT's whisper-soft presence means you'll spend more time chasing the scent than wearing it.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Lyncis Extrait
A luminous, sparkling chypre floral that's an undisputed crowd-pleaser and a standout from Tiziana Terenzi. Prepare for compliments - this one demands attention and leaves a memorable trail.
