Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aromatics in White EDP
This isn't your mum's Aromatics Elixir, so don't expect it. It's a clean, musky rose-patchouli with a gentle powderiness that's divisive: some adore its subtle charm and creamy warmth, while others find it too mild or dated, wishing for more projection and longevity.
Favourite
Our Verdict - 811 Absoluto - No.4 EDP
MATCH's No.4 leans into 811 Absoluto's honeyed, spicy-oriental signature - clove and pepper up top, honey and jasmine at heart - but the dupe plays flatter and thinner, with the original's syrupy richness and slow-building warmth traded for a louder, faster opening and shorter legs.
