Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Quorum Silver Eau de Parfum
This is a seriously divisive cheapie, with some hailing it as a masterpiece of spicy woods and others dismissing it as a bad blind buy due to an overwhelming, even 'sour', ginger note. It's a risk, but the reward for ginger fiends is substantial.

Our Verdict - Macau Eau de Parfum
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit de l'Homme (2009) - cardamom, lavender and vetiver translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.

While many find it versatile for various situations, the strong projection and pronounced spicy-woody character mean it's best applied with a lighter hand for office wear. Its warming, masculine vibe is well-suited for casual and date nights, but might be a bit too robust for formal events.
