Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Surf Eau de Parfum
Surf is a bit of a controversial one, with folks divided on its similarity to Invictus and its overall performance. Some find it a decent, affordable option for everyday wear, while others dismiss it as a weaker clone with disappointing longevity.

Our Verdict - Lima Eau de Parfum
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Jo Malone Lime Basil & Mandarin (1991) - lime, basil and patchouli translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.

Its fresh and clean profile, combined with reports of moderate projection and longevity, makes it suitable for casual wear and even the office. However, its lack of robust performance means it won't stand out for formal events or demanding date nights.
