Which Should You Buy?
Divisive, overhyped, and a magnet for debate - but if you're not bothered by the 'Babycat clone' discourse and appreciate a robust, smoky vanilla-suede, this is a banger. Not for the faint-hearted or those who avoid strong saffron and leather.
A budget clone of Maison Crivelli's Oud Cadenza. The sweet, spicy gourmand-oud with its dates, caramel and smooth oud captures the original's cosy opulence, though Perfume Parlour renders it simpler and without the niche version's monster longevity.
