Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pleats Please EDT

Pleats Please is a divisive little number - a playful, sweet floral that gets some people feeling like flower fairies, and others scrubbing off a cloying, 'bathroom cleanser' vibe. Definitely don't blind buy this one.

Our Verdict - Madrid EDP

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.

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

Also Works:

Autumn

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office

Its moderate sillage and often-praised "clean" aspect make it suitable for casual wear or even the office if applied sparingly. However, its potent sweetness and the strong floral-fruity character might be too casual for formal events and a bit much for active sports.
