Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Mandragore Eau de Parfum
This is a truly divisive scent. Often called a 'magic potion', its fresh spicy-herbal hit is either an addictive, unique masterpiece or, for others, an unwearable 'anti-mosquito disinfectant'. Absolutely try before you buy.

Our Verdict - L'Impression Eau de Parfum
A refreshing, ginger-forward clone that's great for daytime but falls short on performance. It's an affordable daily driver if you don't mind reapplying, but expect arguments about its true closeness to the original.
