Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - DKNY Men EDT

A nostalgic classic with a refreshing kick that fuels mixed feelings. Some love its unique blend, others find it disappointingly generic.

Favourite

Our Verdict - High Extract EDP

High Extract copies DKNY Men (2009) - the same crisp juniper-citrus opening over a peppery violet-leaf heart and a cedar-vetiver base. The budget version captures the woody-aromatic shape but reads flatter, with the cedar and vetiver less present than the original's long-lasting drydown.
