Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sensual Instinct EDP
This one's a proper Marmite scent - you'll either adore its sweet, mossy depth or recoil from its boozy, medicinal bite. Don't be swayed by the BR540 comparisons; this beast stands on its own, for better or worse.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Roasted Beans EDP
A budget take on Mugler A*Men Pure Coffee. The dark roasted-coffee opening over chocolatey patchouli, cedar and sweet caramel captures the original's coffee-in-a-forest character, though the dupe wears flatter and skin-closer - the rich depth and all-day longevity are softened.
