You can't say anything against the Queen or a Chanel costume, BUT ...

Mon Guerlain is undoubtedly a feminine fragrance, one with an almost royal touch: so distinguished, so subtle, so weiiiiiibile. In between, the powdery-soft-rosy tones are joined by a dose of incense. As if the fine madame has just conscientiously confessed her sins. Such in the caliber of "I looked at another man, although I am married ...".

Mon Guerlain is feminine, but not a trace sexy and mysterious certainly not. The fact that this fragrance is described as "That's what a wife smells like" (Leni said Jeremy said that, and who said it again before that - I don't know) is something I'd rather forget real quick. If that is the general opinion that such a wife has to be, beautiful, pleasant, pleasing, romantic and otherwise just totally bland and so sche*ßbraaaaaaav, then good night, servus Gschäft.

Mon Guerlain has class, sure! But he is so soberingly stereotypical to my sensibilities. If something or someone meets all your expectations - is that enough for you? Then you might think Mon Guerlain is great. If you're more the type to be tempted by the mysterious, the unexpected, and want to be challenged to experience something new, then stay away from this yawner. Pardon, classic.

Despite all that, I do of course tip my hat to the art of perfume itself. From all the designer fragrances Mon Guerlain stands out yet well perceptible. (Whereby I must admit to have sniffed by the floral-classic long not everything) Also the Flacon would have come me otherwise ewig-skeptical designer really gladly into the bag! But we two, we don't fit together, the female image of Mon Guerlain et moi. Nevertheless, at least we have one thing in common: I can also prove class - that's why I rate myself two eyes and one and a half nostrils.
