Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Colors Man Black Eau de Parfum
This cheapie is a genuine head-scratcher. Most reckon it's a fantastic, warm, spicy scent that absolutely punches above its weight, but the performance is a full-on lottery, ranging from abysmal skin-scent to surprisingly beastly. A true 'your mileage may vary' kind of fragrance.

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.
