Did you go vintage or modern? A lot of the reformulations have sucked the life and soul from Guerlain.
I have a lot of teeny tiny vials of vintage, plus some large bottles of vintage L'Heure Bleue (which is my one true perfume, and the one I keep going back to time and again), but anything I've tried made after the stupid regulations has made me want to weep.
I'd say Jicky and Mitsouko are the two that really should be tried in vintage. I find Apres L'Ondee very dull--gorgeous violet for 30 seconds and then it's just floral. L'Heure Bleue you can kind of get the structure of in the modern version, though there's more depth and delight in vintage.
I'd also suggest Vol du Nuit--it's lovely.
(There's a similar heart to most of the Guerlains created by Jacques Guerlain, so it may be that you're just not into that combo.)
(I'm very into it. It's like a whorehouse and a headshop had a baby.)
(It's OK not to be into it. I only like one Chanel, for example. Not enough whorehouse or headshop for me.)
