Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Dries Van Noten par Frederic Malle Eau de Parfum

This one's a true masterpiece, a unicorn for lovers of luxurious, creamy sandalwood gourmands, though its polarising medicinal or 'weird' facets initially put some off. If you can get past its quirks, prepare for pure, comforting bliss.

Our Verdict - Soir Eau de Parfum

This Grand Soir dupe is a bit of a gamble upon first spray, with maceration reportedly unlocking its true potential. Expect a rich, cozy amber experience that's a steal for the price, provided you can be patient.
