Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Angelic EDP
This one's a divisive beast. Some swear by its woody-amber warmth, others find it screechy and overpriced. If you're after a loud, unique statement and aren't afraid to splash the cash, give it a go.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Gentleman Reserve Extrait
Reworks Givenchy's whisky-and-iris Gentleman Réserve Privée into a more conventional woody-spicy fougère, trading the boozy signature for pink pepper and labdanum.
