Pros & Cons
- ✅ Elegant patchouli done with style. The combination of the tea note and brightness, which is nuanced and just elegantly soft, captivated me.
- ✅ Wow! This is every bit as elegant as the EDT, but richer and far more seductive. Where the EDT is brightness and effortless charm, the EDP is warmth and soft luxury.
- ✅ INTOXICATINGLY GORGEOUS! While its not 'Beastmode' I find that it has good performance with strong projection during the first couple hours. Also its surprisingly modern yet the sandlewood in the base was done in that Creamy/Classic way.
- ❌ I can't understand that anyone can say this is a long-lasting perfume I literally do not feel anything at all after two and a half hours however it is a wonderful EdP and I love it
- ❌ Seriously beautiful fragrance, seriously TERRIBLE performance even AFTER a lengthy masceration!
- ❌ I never thought i’d say this about a Guerlain fragrance, but genuinely a disappointment for me. This scent is incredibly wimpy, like it can’t even project at all off my skin.
