Which Should You Buy?
A Guerlain for the masses, La Petite Robe Noire EDT is either a crowd-pleasing, fresh cherry dream or a synthetic, headache-inducing scrubber. Its lighter touch compared to the EDP makes it versatile, but polarising enough to make a blind buy risky.
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Giorgio Armani Si (2013) - blackcurrant nectar, rose and vanilla translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.
