/ 10 community score
Derby by Guerlain is respected as a quality fragrance and classic that dedicated fans actively pursue, but its discontinuation has made it nearly impossible to purchase at reasonable prices. The community recognizes it as a lost gem with strong scent quality, though most acknowledge the impracticality of acquiring it without paying steep secondary market prices or settling for decants.
