Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Dubai Eau de Parfum

A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Versace Eros (2012) - mint, tonka bean and vanilla translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.

Our Verdict - Passion for Men Cologne

A divisive yet beloved '80s classic that either charms with its rich, comforting complexity or alienates with a perceived dated sweetness. It's a powerhouse for some, an intimate skin scent for others, offering luxury at a budget price point. Truly a 'love it or hate it' fragrance.

Casual Formal

With its warm, spicy, and amber accords, this fragrance is best suited for intimate and cooler weather occasions. While some find it an all-day performer, its richness and potential for strong projection make it less ideal for a professional office setting or active casual wear. It truly shines on a date night or during relaxed evenings at home.
