Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Casablanca

A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Mancera 4 + 1 = Number One (2018) - bergamot, blueberry and musk translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.

Our Verdict - Velvet Fantasy

Velvet Fantasy is a divisive beast: some find it a delightful, smoother take on the Erba Pura style, a vibrant, long-lasting fruity amber. Others can barely smell it, or are assaulted by a sharp musky amberwoody blast that quickly becomes overwhelming. Sample before you commit.
