Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Inspired by Bamboo
Match Fragrances' interpretation of Gucci's Bamboo (2015) - the Alberto Morillas Casablanca lily-sandalwood feminine that became Gucci's clean white-floral signature, here translated into a bergamot-orange blossom opening over Casablanca lily and a sandalwood close. Honest dupe-fidelity for daytime feminine wear at a fraction of the designer price.

Our Verdict - Tom Ford Champaca Absolute
An exotic and luxurious floral fragrance featuring rich champaca and warm vanilla.
