Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Eau des Merveilles Bleue EDT
A crystalline, mineral sea breeze in a bottle - Eau des Merveilles Bleue is transparent, bracing, and quietly sophisticated. It is perfect for those who want subtle intrigue and oceanic freshness without sweetness or showiness.
Favourite
Our Verdict - 049 Roma Man EDP
No. 049 copies Valentino Uomo Born in Roma's violet-leaf-and-salt opening fairly closely, but the sage-vetiver base thins out much sooner, losing the smoked, mineral depth that gives the original its identity.
