Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Explicite EDP
This one's a proper divisive scent. Sweet, spicy, and floral with a creamy praline heart, it's either a sophisticated, luxurious powerhouse or an overpowering, headache-inducing disaster that dries down to an off-putting woodiness. Not one for a blind buy.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Chamonix EDP
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Maison Margiela Replica By the Fireplace (2015) - clove, chestnut and vanilla translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.
