Barricade EDP
Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Blockade EDP
Blockade promises a zingy mango twist on the ubiquitous Aventus DNA, and it mostly delivers, at least for the first hour. It's a crowd-pleaser, but prepare for serious sticker shock and divisive opinions on its staying power.

Our Verdict - Barricade EDP
Barricade is Alexandria UK's dupe of Mind Games' Blockade, a Symrise-tuned niche release built on mango, tomato leaf and Aventus-adjacent leather-oud. The dupe gets the tart-fruity opening close but thins out the smooth leather heart and loses most of Blockade's slow-burn depth in the base.

Its fresh, fruity, and aromatic profile, coupled with a moderate sillage, makes it suitable for casual and date settings, with many reviewers calling it a 'compliment getter'. The occasional mention of an 'Aventus-like' character means it can work in an office, but its tropical leanings might be too much for strictly formal events.
