Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Monaliza EDP

Monaliza is Alexandria UK's dupe of Frederic Malle's Portrait of a Lady, keeping the fruity-rose-patchouli-incense skeleton recognisable, but it plays as a lighter, less spice-saturated version that lacks the sheer density and staying power of the niche original.

Acquired

Our Verdict - Ensemble Parfum

Ensemble by Sospiro encases a rich tapestry of exotic fruits and spices wrapping around a woody soul, providing a sophisticated and understated elegance.

Ensemble’s rich, luxurious profile is ideal for formal events and intimate dates due to its moderate projection and elegant character. It might be too sophisticated for casual or sports settings.
