Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Spicy Vanilla EDP
This one's a bit of a chameleon: a spicy, citrusy kick that mellows into a warm, inviting vanilla. It's not a Tom Ford dupe, but it stands proudly on its own merits as a versatile, compliment-getting scent that's more everyday-friendly than its inspiration.

Our Verdict - Nightfall Patchouli EDP
Nightfall Patchouli is a captivating, sweet and spicy crowd-pleaser, but a 'patchouli' perfume it ain't. It's a gorgeous scent but divisive on whether it lives up to its name or its hefty price tag. Go for the dupe if you're on a budget.

Its versatile amber-vanilla dry down makes it suitable for office and casual wear, as noted by reviewers. While it has a warm, inviting base perfect for dates, the initial spicy burst isn't ideal for highly formal settings, and it definitely won't stand up to sport.
