Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Azure Spirit
This takes the familiar Eros DNA and dials it up a notch with quality ingredients and beast-mode performance. It's a crowd-pleasing, versatile scent that might just replace the originals for many, even if ambroxan haters will want to steer clear.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Essence de la Vie
A solid, versatile amber-vanilla fragrance that's a bit of a crowd-pleaser. It doesn't break new ground, but it absolutely delivers on scent and performance.
