Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 5th Avenue EDP
A divisive floral classic that people love for its sophisticated charm or dismiss for its perceived cheapness. Expect a clean, elegant scent, but be warned: reformulations mean many find it's lost its former beast-mode glory.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Noble Elixir For Men EDP
A budget interpretation of Gucci Guilty Elixir de Parfum pour Homme, built on the same sweet orange-blossom-and-vanilla heart. It captures the warm, powdery oriental signature but renders the iris-and-benzoin drydown flatter and a touch more synthetic than the designer original.

Best For:

Autumn Winter

The sweet vanilla, benzoin and orange-blossom warmth bloom in cooler autumn and winter weather rather than summer heat.
