Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Romance for Men EDT
This discontinued 90s stunner is still capable of making knees go weak and starting romantic journeys if you can get hold of a bottle. Despite a name that promises romance, it's a classy, versatile, and distinctly masculine aromatic woody that punches way above its weight.

Our Verdict - Glamour For Men EDP
Glamour clones Ralph Lauren Romance for Men - that classic woody-aromatic of bright citrus-spice opening over a warm, refined musky-mossy drydown. As a budget take it captures the sophisticated, intimate character well; the spice reads a touch sharper and the smooth oakmoss-musk base is a little flatter than the 1999 original.
