Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Idylle Eau de Parfum

Idylle is Guerlain's crowd-pleasing floral, often compared to Narciso Rodriguez For Her, delivering a beautiful, clean bouquet. Despite some lamenting its 'mainstream' nature, it's a timeless, elegant choice for those who love a sophisticated floral musk.

Our Verdict - L' Eau de Toilette

This one's a divisive fresh floral, splitting opinion between 'angelic' and 'fart-like'. If you're after a clean, musky bloom and don't pick up the dreaded 'fecal' note, it could be your next signature. Otherwise, steer clear - it's a real love-it-or-hate-it affair.
