Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Café Rose (2023) EDP

Café Rose is a divisive beast: an opulent, old-school rose-patchouli-spice blend that many adore for its vintage charm, while others find it a musty, disappointing shadow of its former self. Don't go in expecting coffee, mate.

Statement

Our Verdict - GU14 - Gcci Envy Men EDP

A busy, complex pyramid faithfully lists most of Gucci Envy for Men's original notes, though a blend this layered is hard to keep balanced at budget price and the drydown reads muddier than the real thing's clean woody-spicy finish.
