Creamy, feminine yuzu
I honestly don't know how to really describe this beautiful creation. It is undeniably synthetic yet so humane and feminine. The tech aspect to me is more of a placebo thanks to the marketing.
I smell a woman who just took a shower, drenched herself in a coconut lotion and theres also a bit of yuzu around. Creamy citrus basically. Dancing on the line between unisex and feminine and I like it. It is weird at first but it grows on you slowly, very interesting take on a "second skin" type of scent, though not a good idea to blind buy, but I definitely recommend to try it if you can.

Peak of mint scents.
I've spent quite some time hunting for the perfect HERBAL mint scent. It's always either "mojito" or toothpaste. THIS however, this is special to me.
This is both a relaxing spa experience as well as crunching mint leaves, whilst you're drinking cold green tea in a garden and the spring sun is shining on you. Protagonist is herbal mint, calming & soothing grassiness as well as a little bit of sweet green tea.
This is my absolute favorite from Guerlain and deserves more attention. Every time I put this on I smile bc damn it's so good I love it.

Maybe the best of the "extraordinaire" collection
Out of the 5 I've tried from this collection, this is the most unique and interesting.
It's a spicy, sweet and delicate rose with fresh cardamom and some sweetness + a little incense. The gingerbread is more of a texture than a note, I do get a little note of ginger though the kind that's present in
Ingenious Ginger except here it's actually enjoyable. I really enjoyed wearing this.
If you're thinking of sampling this house and you like sweet, unique rose scents then definitely get your nose on this one.

Mature stronger with you
If you're a fan of 
Emporio Armani - Stronger with You Intensely or any frag from that line, this is a more mature, grounded version of that.
But be aware, this isn't as sweet as the notes might suggest. I don't really get any rum or vanilla, which I was hoping to get. This is a heavy scent with roasted chestnut, cumin & smoky and dry vetiver base. !IT IS NOT A GOURMAND! It's a little reminiscent or marzipan to me, I just wish it was sweeter or more vanillic, so definitely don't blindbuy.
If you like drier, spicy scents without much sweetness that will fill out a room, this might be for you.

Churchy, but seductive.
Okay so lemme start off by saying that this wasn't a love at first sniff. I actually gradually came back to it with the goal of writing a review for every scent in the discovery set but on a 3rd try, I actually like this ALOT.
Sweet, dark and tart prune, with some peppery freshness at the start. Then as the pepper fades the prune joins a churchy incense and some pleasant greenness in the background. The patchouli isn't overpowering and I dont smell any vanilla, which is actually good bc I dont think those would benefit the composition much.
Personally I wouldn't wear this, but I can definitely see this being worn by my girlfriend. Its a dark feminine scent, in the same ballpark as
Reine de Nuit and 
Portrait of a Lady Eau de Parfum except this is sweeter and no rose. But if you're thinking about trying out this brand, definitely try this one.
