    Real talk

    Wild citrus is the hook. The leather-chypre drydown is the reason people still talk about this one. Released in 1970 and it still smells like it has opinions. That's rare.Eau Folle
    This is the green floral that Guerlain built its reputation on. Dense hyacinth, blackcurrant oil, galbanum, it smells like a perfumer who decided to make a point.Chamade
