Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Meydan Eau de Parfum

Meydan is a bold, take-no-prisoners leather. It's a proper Middle Eastern beast, demanding attention and oozing luxury. Definitely not a blind buy unless you live for powerful, unapologetic leather scents.

Acquired

Our Verdict - Istanbul Eau de Parfum

A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb (2012) - bergamot, cinnamon and tobacco translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.
