Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vetiver Geranium
This one's a bit of a mixed bag; some rave about its unique sparkle and surprising longevity for a freshie, while others find it too linear or fleeting. It's a proper gentle charmer that smells expensive, but you might need to hunt it down now it's been discontinued.

Our Verdict - Scarlet Grass For Men
Scarlet Grass For Men chases Creed's Vetiver Geranium, a fresh woody-floral built on green apple, geranium and grassy vetiver. The dupe captures that crisp apple-and-geranium opening but, true to budget oils, the refined Creed ambergris-cedar base reads flatter and a little less rounded.
