Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Moonlit Night
This one's a mixed bag, to put it mildly. Some folks reckon it's a spot-on dupe and a fantastic score, while others will tell you it's a barbeque-scented disaster. It's affordable, but prepare for some serious debate.
Statement
Our Verdict - Istanbul
A truly gorgeous, comforting amber that's not afraid of a bit of spice and a fresh aromatic kick. It's divisive only because some say its performance is poor, but the scent itself is a hug in a bottle.
