Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Giordani Gold Essenza
This is a seriously divisive one. Some rave about its luxurious orange blossom, others get a sharp, synthetic mess. It's a genuine love-it-or-hate-it, so sample before you commit.

Our Verdict - Mindset
This one's a bit of a mixed bag; a decent budget-friendly take on a popular scent, if not always the best clone out there. Expect a bright, clean opening, but prepare for longevity quibbles and comparisons to its pricier muse.
