Which Should You Buy?
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.
This smoky, ambery vanilla is a divisive one - some find it meditative and opulent, others a 'depressing' chemical mess. It's a dark, sweet, and unique scent, sadly discontinued, that's best for those who appreciate its deep, gothic charm without overwhelming projection.
