Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Orion Extrait
This one's a divisive Aventus 'inspiration'; some love its smoky, rounded take on the fruity-woody DNA, others sniff a synthetic mess. Performance is patchy, so try before you buy - seriously.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Cairo EDP
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir (2005) - pomegranate, pink pepper 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.
