I got to try out Jicky on the weekend, was pretty nice.. Also 'Imperiale' is very nice - I might have to get that one, but its very similar to CDG's Anbar so I dont know if I can justify both.. Finally got to test Guerlain's Vetiver this weekend as well (which I was originally going to buy blindly from all the great reviews), but unfortunately it turned to a burnt rubber smell on my skin - and the SA was insisting it was nice on me, which was total BS.. She was trying to sell me on it saying it was the last one left when i could see more bottles in the cabinet.. That kinda business totally turns me off from making a purchase.Originally Posted by FlyingLotus
Imperiale is a classic, but it has next to zero longevity on me. I'd much prefer the CdG, which has a slight twist on the usual EdC that CdG does so well with its fragrances. Eau de Coq is another old EdC, but it, too, isn't much to get thrilled to pieces about. Really, I find it hard to beat my Eau de Lalique for a light, crisp, citrus scent for spring/summer. Did you also try L'instant de Guerlain PH? That's my favorite "recent" Guerlain. Coriolan is another good one, though it's been discontinued. Vetiver changes character a lot with warmer/cooler weather, I find. But, it's definitely not for everybody. A lot of people think that a few years back when they messed with the notes and changed some things, they ruined it.
