Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Spectre Ghost EDP
This one's a proper head-scratcher. Some reckon it's a stellar Ani dupe, a sophisticated, spicy vanilla dream. Others find it a synthetic, sour mess that belongs in the bin. Definitely not a blind buy unless you enjoy a good gamble.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Eau de Lacoste L.12.12. Rouge EDT
This one's a mixed bag, to put it mildly. Some love the fruity, spicy vibe; others find it a generic, synthetic mess that just doesn't last. Don't expect a groundbreaking scent, but for a cheap thrill it might just do the trick.
