Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - des Jardins Eau de Toilette
A refreshing, zingy citrus explosion that perfectly captures summer in a bottle, although some find it a bit too simple or generic to be truly memorable. It's an easy grab-and-go for those who love a natural, uplifting scent, but don't expect a powerhouse.

Our Verdict - Athens Eau de Parfum
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Paco Rabanne Invictus (2013) - grapefruit, bay leaf and guaiac wood translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.

Its light sillage and fresh, clean accords make it ideal for office wear and casual settings, as it won't offend. However, its 'body mist' performance and bright scent mean it's less suited for formal events or a romantic date.
