Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - By EDT
A legendary, much-missed masterpiece from D&G's golden era. 'By' is a total crowd-pleaser that delivers a potent dose of creamy, masculine sophistication. It's universally adored for a reason: sexy, unique, and it just works.
Acquired
Our Verdict - By EDP
A faithful-in-spirit take on Dolce & Gabbana's discontinued 'By', with the nutmeg-lavender aromatic opening intact and a recognisable sandalwood-tobacco base, though the composition overall is softer and shorter-lived than the original's dry, resinous character.
