Guerlain discussion

I smelled it years ago at nordstrom and since then I haven't seen it in store anywhere. It's a nice scent. Nothing spectacular but nice.

Nope haven't smell Le plus beau jour de ma vie nor Love by Killian, I'm not sure I will have the chance to smell Guerlain's perfume either because it is difficult in my city to find those exclusives perfume I was all amazed to see a Guerlain counter with the exclusive collection at The Bay (Canadian department store now own by Saks 5th avenue) and couldn't contained myself and bought a bottle of Tokin Imperiale. As for expensive, I have to stop at 300$ bottle, I cannot start buying bottle higher, I mean I do not even buy shoes that expensive! But doesn't the reviews said it smell sweet and vanilla? i'm sure you can find a similar perfume less expensive with those notes

It smells sweet to me but not like vanilla. Maybe some type of sweets. The most expensive perfume I own is Chanel Misia. I still can't pull the trigger on the Tom Ford private blends but I have a few on my wishlist.

The discontinued one this year is Idylle Eau Sublime, but it wouldn't surprise me if the regular Idylle gets the chopping block soon since it's slowly getting harder to find which is a shame because it's not a bad scent.

Idylly came as a gift set this year for Mother's day, so I don't think it will be discontinued (only popular perfumes are released as gift sets here). I think the Guerlain boutique in Paris is the closest one where I could go and smell all the exclusive perfumes. However, I have never been, but in London they are also available at Selfridges (and probably Harrod's too), so next time i'm there, you'll know where to find me.

You should go to the Harrods Salon de parfums! Not the fragrance hall on the ground floor (which is also beautiful) but the Salon de parfums on the last floor! It's a magical place

My favorite from guerlain are tonka impériale, cuir béluga and gourmand coquin ( from les élixirs)

Earlier this week, I bought the Joli Teint powder. I'm a bit disappointed. Not in the product itself, but in the presentation. Packaging looks cheap (imho), no velvety pouch, no little brush with it, .... When i look at it on the bathroom counter, it just looks the same as cheapo brands, not like a more luxurious product from Guerlain. I know, first world problems, and the content is more important than the packaging, but still. It's not cheap, and if Dior can package its products nicely and off a kabuki brush, why can't guerlain do that?

I absolutely love the powder, but I have to agree with you on the packaging. It's below the brand.

I concur.

I wish every brand would stop adding the brushes with the packaging or inside of it , they are crap anyway. And recently I tossed all the velvet pouches because it's so annoying pulling out of it every single compact to see which one it is.

you see we are all different

I have to agree with you on this one. And those annoying little plastic covers. Argh!

I keep the velvet pouches in a box and only use them when I'm travelling.

to me the velvet pouches are a pain. I just stock pile them. As for the brushes. The last decent brush that came with something was the YSL Tuxedo multi color palette. I think there are like 10 colors in it. As well as the nude palette they offered too.
