Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Patchouli EDT
This is *the* classic patchouli, a rich, dark, and often chocolatey concoction that's either worshipped or reviled. Expect a powerful, earthy statement, not a quiet whisper.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Madagascar EDP
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Tom Ford Vanille Fatale (2017) - vanilla, vanilla and vanilla translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.
