Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Si
This EDT flanker is a divisive one, splitting opinion between those who find it a lighter, fresher take on the original, and those who feel it loses the EDP's magic, becoming generic. It's discontinued now, much to the chagrin of its ardent fans.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Al Amaken
A divisive Fruitchouli that either wows with impressive longevity and projection or falls flat with weak performance. If you're after a budget-friendly dupe for Flowerbomb or La Vie Est Belle, this might be your jam-packed sweet treat, but don't expect groundbreaking originality.
