Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Armani de Nuit

This is a seriously underrated crowd-pleaser that delivers a dark, refined, and utterly sensual experience. Forget the clones - Eau de Nuit stands alone as a sophisticated, alluring scent that will definitely get you noticed.

Statement

Our Verdict - MCX

MCX is a polarising launch not for its scent, but for its marketing. Those who've actually smelled it praise its brighter take on the original, with a delicious violet floral and darker oud backing, but many others won't get past the hype machine.
