Which Should You Buy?
If you're on the hunt for a crowd-pleasing gourmand that delivers serious bang for your buck, Elixir of Dubai is a fantastic blind buy. It’s got that trending vanilla sweetness without being sickly. Absolutely smashing for the price.
This Grand Soir dupe is a divisive one. Many find it a near-perfect, long-lasting alternative at a fraction of the cost, especially after some maceration. Others find it lacks the depth of the original, with some noting a 'coke' or 'cough sweet' opening.
