Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Man Wood Essence EDP
This one's a divisive one. Many adore its fresh, woody sweetness, calling it a versatile crowd-pleaser for any setting. Others are left scratching their heads, finding it generic, weak, and surprisingly un-woody. It’s either a subtle charmer or a forgettable whiff.

Our Verdict - Santiago Parfum
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Giorgio Armani Code Parfum (2022) - vanilla, tonka bean and vanilla translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.
