Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Café Rose (2023) EDP
Café Rose is a divisive beast: an opulent, old-school rose-patchouli-spice blend that many adore for its vintage charm, while others find it a musty, disappointing shadow of its former self. Don't go in expecting coffee, mate.
Statement
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.
