Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Madame Gres
A divisive blend that promises French chic but delivers an opening that splits opinion. If you can ride out the initial sweetness, a sophisticated, patchouli-rich dry-down awaits.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Victory For Men
This is a seriously impressive clone for the price; a woody, vanilla, floral powerhouse that smells way more expensive than it is. It's not a subtle scent, so be ready to make an impression.
