Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Gold EDP
A divisive beast of a scent, 24 Gold is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect potent sillage and longevity, but be warned: some batches might be weaker and recent reformulations have caused a stir among fans.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Madagascar EDP
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Tom Ford Vanille Fatale (2017) - vanilla, vanilla and vanilla translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.

Given its strong projection and long-lasting nature, 24 Gold is definitely not an office-friendly scent. Its opulent woody-vanilla profile makes it perfect for dates, evening events, and colder weather casual wear, but it's far too heavy for sports.
