Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Hugo Reversed EDT
A solid, if short-lived, citrus-fresh punch, Hugo Reversed is the ultimate warm-weather grab-and-go. Don't expect miracles in longevity, but for the price, it's a no-brainer for those scorching hot days.

Our Verdict - Lima EDP
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Jo Malone Lime Basil & Mandarin (1991) - lime, basil and patchouli translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.
