Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Chicago

A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Yves Saint Laurent Y for Men EDP (2018) - apple, sage and amberwood translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.

Favourite

Our Verdict - Marlin

Marlin is a fresh, aromatic journey that smells like a brisk walk along a windswept coast. It's a proper British green-woody aromatic, perfect for those who want to smell put-together without shouting about it. A real gem.

Given its fresh, aromatic profile and moderate sillage, Marlin is highly suitable for casual wear and the office. It's too subtle for a formal event but works well for daytime dates or lighter sporty activities where you want a clean, natural scent.
