Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Living Lalique
This one is a real chameleon, loved for its sophisticated blend of notes but often divisive due to its 'masculine' leaning. It's a shame it's discontinued, as it's a unique take on a cosy, woody scent.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Gary's Den
This one's a divisive hit. For iris lovers, it's a solid, budget-friendly homage that many rate highly, especially after some maceration. But if you're expecting a perfect Dior dupe, prepare for potential disappointment and a "Coca-Cola" vibe that not everyone appreciates.
