Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Thé Matcha 26 EDP
A quiet, contemplative fragrance that wraps you in a veil of green tea and fig, perfect for those who crave subtlety and serenity. Understated yet distinctive, it is modern minimalism bottled.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Grand Metal For Men EDP
Grand Metal chases Paul Smith Men - that clean, green-aromatic of citrus and basil drying down to brisk vetiver and iris. The dupe captures the crisp outdoorsy freshness but renders it thinner and a little flatter, with the vetiver-iris base less refined and the original's already-moderate longevity trimmed further.
