Ashlemah vs Mon Guerlain

Ashlemah is a powdery-violet fragrance that performs well for some but suffers from a common issue: ionones (the main aromachemicals in violet) cause rapid temporary anosmia in many people, making the scent fade quickly or be undetectable. Performance varies significantly based on individual anosmia susceptibility to violet aromachemicals.

The r/fragrance community views Mon Guerlain positively overall, praising its comforting vanilla scent and broad appeal. However, some users experience disappointing longevity and projection, and it's often dismissed as an overly safe, mainstream fragrance rather than something distinctive. Many consider it a good blind buy at discounted prices.
