What do reviewers say about Eau de Guerlain and Iss?
It earns its reputation as a 'safe' buy by being actually safe, a well-mannered, well-bred citrus that doesn't ask for attention. But safe in the best sense.Eau de Guerlain
Citrus and sandalwood don't always play nice. The lemon wants to be sharp; the wood wants to be soft. Iss finds the middle ground anyway. Wears like you've got nothing to prove.Iss
