Which Should You Buy?
Essentiel combines modern freshness with classic sophistication, making it an excellent choice for the confident, contemporary man.
A budget take on Brioni Eau de Parfum Essentiel. The hazy green tomato-leaf-and-cardamom opening over a soft patchouli-tonka base captures the original's smart, velvety green fougère; this dupe flattens some of that effervescent green nuance and wears more modestly than the already-intimate Brioni.
