This is a seriously gorgeous, sensual caramel-spice vanilla, marred by a price tag that screams 'rip off'. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent for the community, primarily due to associations with its creator rather than the juice itself. Don't fall for the hype or the hate; judge the scent, not the creator.

Crimson Mineral targets Armani Prive's Magenta Tanzanite - the warm, dry spicy amber where cardamom and ginger meet roasted coffee, resinous myrrh and a smooth tobacco-vanilla drydown. The dupe captures the cosy spice-and-coffee character but renders it flatter and sweeter, with the resinous depth simplified and the excellent longevity cut to a skin-close presence.
