Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Gris Montaigne EDP
This one's a proper masterpiece, oozing understated elegance and sophistication. A truly divisive scent, loved by many for its unique blend of woody florals and hated by a few who find it too harsh or reminiscent of unexpected things. It's a real shame it's discontinued, but if you can find it, you're in for a treat.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Incantation EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of CD - Gris Montaigne - a woody fragrance led by Bergamot, with floral depth. The dupe trades some of the original's depth and longevity for a wallet-friendly price, keeping the recognisable character.
