Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Jubilant Noir
If you're already a fan of Versace Crystal Noir EDT, this affordable dupe from Maison Alhambra is a safe bet. It perfectly captures that creamy, spicy floral vibe, though some find it a bit too linear or even headache-inducing. Prepare for an impressive silage, but don't expect groundbreaking longevity.

Our Verdict - Yardley Gentleman Classic
This one is a divisive but budget-friendly throwback. If you're after a mature, masculine scent that harks back to classic barbershops, with surprising longevity for the price, you'll love it. But beware, some find the dry-down a bit 'old socks' or distinctly old-school.
