Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Dia Man EDP
Dia Man is a quiet masterpiece from Amouage, a sophisticated blend for the understated gentleman. Forget beast-mode projection; this is elegance that whispers, not shouts. It's divisive only among those expecting Amouage's usual bombast; for others, it's a refined delight.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Guava Noir EDP
A budget take on BornToStandOut Black Guava. The juicy sugared-guava opening colliding with smoky oud and dark patchouli captures the original's light-meets-shadow fruity-oud contrast; this dupe tames the original's extrait-level intensity and beast-mode longevity, wearing far more wearably.
