Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - CR7
This one's a mixed bag, to put it mildly. There's a core of Le Male-esque warmth and sweetness that some find fantastic value, while others dismiss it as a cheap, synthetic knock-off with abysmal performance. You'll either love it or wish you hadn't bothered.

Our Verdict - Istanbul
A truly gorgeous, comforting amber that's not afraid of a bit of spice and a fresh aromatic kick. It's divisive only because some say its performance is poor, but the scent itself is a hug in a bottle.
