Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Armani Attitude EDP
This one's a cult classic, a proper 'if you know, you know' kind of scent. Discontinued years ago, it's now hunted down by those who miss its unique, sophisticated-but-edgy vibe. Performance was always a sticking point, but the scent itself? Pure magic for many.
Favourite
Our Verdict - 186 Armani Attitude EDP
186 AT follows Armani Attitude's distinctive coffee-lavender-amber signature, though the dupe's patchouli-opoponax base fades far sooner than the original's dense, long-lasting drydown.
