Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Les Absolus d'Orient Ambre Eternel Eau de Parfum

This discontinued Guerlain masterpiece divides opinion like few others. It's either an intoxicating, complex amber-leather dream or a synthetic scrubber. The love for it is intense; the hate, equally so. Proceed with caution and definitely sample first, if you can even find it.

Our Verdict - Mon Numero 10 Eau de Parfum

Mon Numero 10 is an absolute marvel, a shapeshifting beast that goes from church incense to cherry cola on a leather seat, all while maintaining an unmistakable depth. It's divisive, but fans rave about its complex, warm embrace. Not for the faint-hearted, but truly exceptional.
