Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sì Fiori EDP
This discontinued gem is mourned by many, a creamy, sweet dream of a scent that leaves some clamouring for a comeback and others baffled by its hype.
Favourite
Our Verdict - No.218 Desire EDP
No.218 goes straight for Alfred Dunhill Desire's signature bold green apple opening, backed by neroli and bergamot before settling into a patchouli-rose-cedar middle. It's a lighter, more linear take on the original but the crisp apple-into-woods progression that made Desire a nineties/2000s staple is present and easy to enjoy day to day.
