If you like incense, this is for you!
This is perfection in a bottle! If you like incense but do not want to smell like a hippy, this is the one! It's classy, smells expensive, lasts from shower to shower, even longer on clothes. It has a good sillage. I just LOVE it!!!
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Rose bomb
The rose in this fragrance is overpowering and too heavy for my taste. To be fair to Guerlain, I blind bought this based on reviews, I should have tested it. I look forward to testing other fragrances from the house, I expect that they will have several I enjoy. I anticipate that those who love rose fragrances may enjoy it, but for me it's too rosy.

weird synthetic scent
This perfume as very weird synthetic scent as soon as it's applied. It takes a few minutes to balance itself. Otherwise, it's a nice vintage chypre.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.

Oriental Delight
The official samples are excellent value, really glad to be able to try EMDO with FragranceX, I've always wanted to but the full bottles are so expensive and hard to find. The high quality and ingredients of the scent are foreign to most Western noses so initially it may seem overpowering even unusual. Eventually though the fragrance settles to a sublime powdery/floral perfume. EMDO is also long lasting and smells very expensive, you are sure to impress all those around you with your exotic scent cloud. I love to wear this to bed for sweet dreams. An Oriental Delight that is an absolute must-try.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.
