Which Should You Buy?

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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Noir Extreme EDP
Copycat's Noir Extreme reproduces Tom Ford's warm cardamom-amber-vanilla shape but pushes the vanilla louder and flattens the kulfi-rose facet that gives the original its distinctive milky-spiced sweetness, landing as a more generic amber gourmand.
