Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Masculin EDP
A lost treasure from the past, Bourjois Masculin is sorely missed by those who remember its sophisticated, classic aroma. It's often compared to some of the greats, so if you ever find a bottle, snap it up.
Favourite
Our Verdict - VE177 Black Jeans EDP
This discontinued 90s Versace cult classic is genuinely hard to find today, and VE177 brings back its distinctive leather-floral character reasonably well, though the dupe's leather note lands a shade more rubbery than Versace's smoother original.
