    What do reviewers say about True Story and Mon Guerlain?

    The chocolate-vanilla drydown is what keeps people coming back. Sweet enough to feel like a comfort, warm enough to wear close. Lasts a full workday without reapplying.True Story
    Not another sweet vanilla. Mon Guerlain earns its sweetness from lavender's coolness cutting through the warmth, the herbaceous bite that keeps the vanilla from going flat.Mon Guerlain
