Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Acqua di Gioia EDT
A fresh, light, and mass-appealing scent perfect for summer. It’s got an easy-going charm that works for many, though don't expect anything groundbreaking. If you like clean, crisp fruit and florals, this is a solid choice.

Our Verdict - Palermo EDP
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Eau de Parfum (2001) - granny smith apple, bamboo and cedar translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.
