Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Magnifiq
A real head-turner, Magnifiq by Armaf is often compared to Club de Nuit Woman's more grown-up, confident older sister. While she delivers beast mode performance, she won't be for the faint of heart, or for those who don't like generous servings of patchouli.

Our Verdict - Build Your-Self
This one's a divisive clone of Mugler's Aura, not quite nailing the magic but offering a more subdued, budget-friendly echo. Its synthetic edge and 'Play-Doh note' split opinions, making it a love-it-or-hate-it affair for many.

Best For:
