Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Hong Kong EDP
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Tom Ford Noir Extreme (2015) - mandarin orange, kulfi and amber translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Boss Intense EDP
A divisive yet much-loved discontinued gem from Hugo Boss, this one causes a stir. Some find it a masculine, heady mess, while others adore its warm, sensual, and undeniably intense character. If you can find it, it's a bold statement.
