Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Chicago Eau de Parfum
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.
Our Verdict - Boss Bottled Eau de Parfum
The Essence Vault's interpretation of Hugo Boss's Boss Bottled (1998) - Annick Menardo's apple-cinnamon-sandalwood signature that defined office-masculine for two decades, here translated into a budget reading with the apple-cinnamon-sandalwood spine still legible. Honest dupe-fidelity for office and date-day wear.
