Guerlain Coriolan: aged to perfection or vinegar?
10 years ago
Aside from wearing Jicky on occasion I've never really explored the Guerlain line. No particular reason, just so much perfume so little time.
Anyway, I'm making up for lost time. I've been trying L'Âme d'un Héros (beautiful!) which is apparently the re-issue for Coriolan. Even though Coriolan has been discontinued for quite a while it's still available "new" from the original stocks at very reasonable prices. However, in reading about Coriolan I've come across a few reviews claiming that these old/new bottles have not held up well in terms of maintaining their potency. Urban myth or has anybody else had first hand experience with original Coriolan becoming, ahem, impotent? Should I go ahead and snag a bottle or should I put those pennies in the piggy bank for a bottle of L'Âme d'un Héros?
