How can I tell whether a bottle of Vétiver Eau de Toilette is the current formulation?
A batch code alone does not tell you which formula is in a bottle.
To check a particular bottle, ask Guerlain or the retailer about its batch code. Owners' side-by-side comparisons are not confirmation from the house.
What does the concentration label on Vétiver Eau de Toilette mean?
Vétiver Eau de Toilette is sold as Eau de Toilette (EDT), a label generally used for a lighter fragrance concentration than eau de parfum.
