Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Mefisto Gentiluomo EDP
Mefisto Gentiluomo is a real head-turner, but people are properly divided. Some reckon it's a classy, modern barbershop masterpiece; others get hit with baby wipes or cheap clone vibes. There's real love here for its elegant freshness, but also quite a bit of 'meh' for its performance and cost.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Seen Aura EDP
A budget clone of Nishane's Meant To Be Seen. The cool iris-and-bergamot opening melting into a creamy sesame-musk base captures the original's surprisingly soft, refined character, though Perfume Parlour renders it simpler and even quieter.
