Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Armani EDP
This 80s icon is a love-it-or-rue-its-discontinuation kind of fragrance. A powerhouse chypre that defined an era of bold, singular scent statements, it’s still sorely missed by those who knew it. If you can track down a vintage bottle, prepare for a captivating journey.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Voce Viva EDP
A fresh yet sophisticated feminine scent with floral and citrus highlights perfect for versatile, everyday wear.
