Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Caribs for Men EDP
Caribs for Men displays a refined collection of fresh spicy and aquatic notes with a woody base tailored for the modern man.
Statement
Our Verdict - Caribbean Cove EDP
Caribbean Cove is Alexandria UK's take on Caribs for Men by Amaffi, an exclusive $2,000 Bertrand Duchaufour aquatic-floral. The dupe keeps the azure-seawater-and-orchid skeleton but is thinner and more one-dimensional, trading Amaffi's layered exoticism for a simpler beach-fresh accord with softer projection.
