Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Royale Exclusif

This one's a wildcard. While it opens fresh and promising, a strong medicinal, chemical drydown means it's not going to be for everyone. You'll either love how it develops or find yourself reaching for something else entirely.

Our Verdict - Inspired by Bleu

Match Fragrances' interpretation of Chanel's Bleu de Chanel (2010) - the Jacques Polge citrus-woody-aromatic masculine that became Chanel's biggest men's hit, here translated into a grapefruit-lemon-mint opening over a ginger heart and an incense-vetiver-cedar close. Honest dupe-fidelity for office and date wear at a fraction of the designer price.

Its depth and strong woody-amber accords make it more suitable for evening or cooler weather. While the initial freshness offers some versatility, the potent drydown might be too distinctive for a typical office setting.
