Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Grapefruit Eau de Parfum
This one's a divisive hit-or-miss. Some rave about its fresh, invigorating citrus kick, while others find it too sharp, too masculine, or just not grapefruity enough. If you're after a pure, sweet grapefruit, look elsewhere. If a complex, aromatic citrus with an unexpected edge sounds good, maybe give it a sniff.

Our Verdict - Jakarta Eau de Parfum
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Tom Ford Grey Vetiver (2009) - grapefruit, vetiver and vetiver translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Best For:
Office
Casual
Sport
Its fresh and clean profile makes it suitable for office and casual wear, especially given its intimate sillage. However, the often-described masculine edge and lack of sweetness make it less ideal for dates or formal events where a more universally appealing or elegant scent might be preferred.
