L'Homme is still a beloved classic, delivering a masterclass in elegant, understated masculinity. Forget the performance complaints; wear it for yourself, or for those intimate enough to lean in close. It's a hug in a bottle, if hugs were bottled by YSL.

Divain's dupe follows YSL's L'Homme almost note-for-note - ginger, bergamot and lemon over a violet leaf and tonka bean skeleton - but renders it flatter and less creamy, losing the original's velvety cocoa-tinged smoothness in favour of a sharper, more linear woody-spicy finish.
