Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Idole d'Armani EDP
This discontinued gem is a true love-it-or-hate-it affair. For those who adore it, Idole d'Armani is a sophisticated, unique, and long-lasting scent that embodies confidence. For others, it's too spicy, too strong, and even a bit 'old-fashioned.'

Our Verdict - Dubai Lifestyle EDP
Dubai Lifestyle chases Boadicea the Victorious' Blue Sapphire, an oriental woody built on lemon, saffron and oud. The dupe nails the lemon-saffron opening but flattens quickly into a simpler, louder amber-oud base with noticeably less depth and staying power than the original.
