Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - des Baux Eau de Toilette
This one's a legendary cheapie, offering niche-level comfort at a high-street price, though its longevity causes a bit of mither. A cold-weather marvel with devoted fans, it's a must-try for anyone after a warm, spicy vanilla with a proper twist.

Our Verdict - Santiago Parfum
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Giorgio Armani Code Parfum (2022) - vanilla, tonka bean and vanilla translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.

Its warm, spicy and vanilla-heavy profile makes it perfect for date nights and casual autumn/winter wear. While it has moderate projection, its richness isn't ideal for the office or formal events, and it's certainly not built for sport.
