Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Venetian Bergamot EDP
Tom Ford Venetian Bergamot is a creamy floral delight with a fleeting citrus opening, much to the chagrin of those expecting a true bergamot bomb. It's a divisive scent, especially for those expecting a strictly 'unisex' experience, as many find it leans distinctly feminine.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Versus Crystal Noir EDP
This budget-friendly scent aims for a seductive, spicy white floral vibe, but some find its dupe-like quality results in a slightly 'off' or 'cheap' undertone that holds it back from true luxury.
