Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 1888 EDP

This one's a proper spicy amber floral that splits the room; some swear by its classic elegance, others find it too 'old-school' or 'medicinal'. Definitely not for everyone, so sample first.

Our Verdict - Mounera EDP

Mounera channels Mancera's Aoud Vanille, the cult oud-meets-creamy-vanilla unisex hit. It captures the spicy saffron-oud opening and the smooth vanilla drydown that makes the original so loved, but the dupe softens the rough edges and wears closer, trading the original's amazing sillage for a cosier, skin-warm finish.
