Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Loverdose EDP
Loverdose is a divisive, intoxicating scent - a delicious liquorice bomb that leans into its edgy, rebellious side. Some find it a masterpiece, others a challenging, even 'bitchy' punk rock experience. Expect love-it-or-hate-it reactions, but it's certainly not boring.
Statement
Our Verdict - 547 Le Male EDP
547 recreates Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male's iconic lavender-mint-vanilla fougere shape faithfully in its opening, but the vanilla-tonka base is sweeter and less resinous than the original's structured amber, and it doesn't project as far.
