Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Gaultier 2 Eau de Parfum
This amber-vanilla powerhouse from Francis Kurkdjian is a cult classic; a love-it-or-hate-it scent with a huge following. Despite its divisive nature, Gaultier 2 earned a reputation as a 'sex in a bottle' compliment-getter for good reason.

Our Verdict - Queenstown Eau de Parfum
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Tom Ford / Tsu Lange Yor Vanilla Sex (2018) - vanilla, vanilla bourbon and musk translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.
