Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sensual Orchid Eau de Parfum

This is a truly divisive scent; some call it a 'masterpiece' of luxurious, creamy florals and vanilla, while others are entirely underwhelmed, finding it generic or too sweet. It's either your dream gourmand floral or a 'pretentious fabric softener'.

Acquired

Our Verdict - Mon Precieux Nectar Eau de Parfum

A universally adored, intimate golden nectar that evokes sunshine and luxury. It's a shame it's so hard to find, but Guerlain boutiques still sometimes stock this cult classic.
