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.
Statement
Our Verdict - Saintly B EDP
Saintly B recreates Boadicea the Victorious Angelic, the herbaceous woody-aromatic niche scent. It captures the musky clary-sage and green cardamom opening over that vetiver-patchouli-cedar base, but the dupe flattens the original's blended refinement and wears closer; since Angelic itself is a light performer, the dupe's skin-near longevity feels close to type.
