Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Spiritueuse Double Vanille Eau de Parfum
This is Guerlain's legendary vanilla, but it's a divisive one. Many find it exquisite, a rich and boozy dream, while others rage about its weak performance and high price. You might love it, or you might find yourself anosmic to its charms entirely. Sample first, and pray your nose isn't broken.

Our Verdict - Gold Incense Eau de Parfum
Don't let the name fool you. Many expect a strong incense hit, but Gold Incense offers a surprisingly fresh, clean, and quite feminine take on warm vanilla and florals. It’s certainly a crowd-pleaser, if not quite the edgy incense bomb some might hope for.
