Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Magenta Tanzanite EDP
Magenta Tanzanite is a deeply polarising fragrance, earning both adoration and derision for its intense spice and tobacco profile. Those who get it, really get it, describing it as an intoxicating masterpiece, while others find it too medicinal, burnt, or just 'meh'. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

Our Verdict - Crimson Mineral EDP
Crimson Mineral targets Armani Prive's Magenta Tanzanite - the warm, dry spicy amber where cardamom and ginger meet roasted coffee, resinous myrrh and a smooth tobacco-vanilla drydown. The dupe captures the cosy spice-and-coffee character but renders it flatter and sweeter, with the resinous depth simplified and the excellent longevity cut to a skin-close presence.
