Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Eros Najim EDP
This one is a real Marmite, love-it-or-hate-it affair. It's either an amazing, unique take on the Eros DNA with a sophisticated Middle Eastern twist or a synthetic, oversweet mess that misses the mark entirely. Blind-buying is definitely not recommended.
Acquired
Our Verdict - No.214 Gentlemen Only EDP
No.214 nails the citrus-woody opening of Givenchy Gentlemen Only - mandarin, pink pepper and cedar are all present and correct - but the sweeter caramel-licorice base is softer and less austere than the original's incense-tinged dry-down, and it wears close to skin.

Autumn Winter
Also Works:

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best For:
