Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Idylle Eau de Toilette
This one's a proper British garden party in a bottle. Expect a fresh, polite floral that's either 'understated elegance' or 'unmemorable' depending on who you ask. It's a bit divisive on longevity, but for many, it's Guerlain's accessible, warm weather darling.

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.
