Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ikat Rouge EDP
If you can get your hands on this limited edition, prepare for an amber-woody sensation that's worth the fuss. It's a seductive showstopper, albeit with a price tag that had some reviewers wishing for a muscular man or diamonds included.
Statement
Our Verdict - Giorgio Armani Ikat Rouge Oil
A richly textured blend of saffron and oud gives a sense of luxury and refinement. The fragrance has a subtlety that suits both business and personal settings.
