Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Envy for Men EDP
A legendary, much-missed masterpiece from Gucci's Tom Ford era, Envy for Men commands reverence and ridiculous prices. It's that rare beast that everyone yearns for, despite some admitting that its vintage may not universally appeal.
Acquired
Our Verdict - No.691 Envy EDP
No.691 follows Gucci's Envy for Men blueprint - a spiced ginger opening over a woody, ambered oriental base - but comes across noticeably softer and less nuclear, losing much of the original's famed loud, spicy sillage.
