PS-- a "couple?"
Do a Directory search of men's Guerlains and ask yourself how many you really know, or own...INCLUDING the EPD versions, which people rarely are aware of.

OK...so how do you explain their win? i think the win is rather easy to explain, more people who voted happened to agree with you than agree with other people who think another perfume house is the best. it's pretty much that simple, i don't see how that adds up to any sort of vindication, it's still a pretty subjective question/
i am also pretty worried about the direction guerlain is heading, mostly because to me insolence was so so awful , yes i think i also blame their new owners LVMH

Answer:
I don't think they should focus on launching new frags.
They should just focus on keeping the quality of they already have, and - better - launch vintage versions of their classics. I'm sure there are plenty of people ready to pay the price for the original Vetiver, or Shalimar, Mitsouko, etc.
And, no more reformulations, please.

Answer:
the reason no one gives any respect to the mens edp's here in the states is they're practically unavailable. and I hope this post proves me wrong and 10 different people list ten different places where the edp is only 50% more than the edt rather than listing edp's that approach 4 figures.

Answer:
By the way, no matter how much I respect Guerlain, I believe the stronger house of masculine fragrance nowadays is YSL. Perhaps they don't have the best frag, but considering their whole line, they're hard to beat. And, IMHO, they have the best recent launchings also.

Most BN'ers respect Guerlains past - its where the house is headed that worries many.

Answer:
Guerlain is the only house who's mens fragrances have yet to impress me.
