What do reviewers say about Minerva and Mon Guerlain?
Tuberose gets a bad reputation for being too much. Too sweet, too creamy, too much like sunscreen in a bottle. Minerva avoids that trap entirely, the orange blossom and mandarin keep it bright.Minerva
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
