Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Madagascar EDP

A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Tom Ford Vanille Fatale (2017) - vanilla, vanilla and vanilla translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.

Our Verdict - Ristretto Intense Café

This one's a Montale powerhouse, and it's certainly divisive. Some find it a delicious coffee-rose dream, while others are baffled by the lack of coffee and overwhelmed by the rose. Love it or hate it, its monstrous performance is undeniable.

Its beastly projection and sweet, dense gourmand nature make it a poor fit for the office, where it could easily overwhelm. However, these same characteristics, especially the sensual rose and caramel, make it fantastic for dates or a statement evening out, particularly in colder weather.
