Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Eau de Rochas EDT
A divisive citrus classic, Eau de Rochas splits opinion with its sharp, vintage charm. Some find it a refreshing summer essential, while others are put off by its 'old-school' or 'masculine' edge. Love it or hate it, it's certainly got character.

Our Verdict - 127 Armani Acqua Di Gio EDP
127 AQ leans on the same marine-citrus-musk skeleton as Armani Acqua di Gio, but the dupe's aquatic accord is thinner and the drydown fades faster. A fair everyday summer scent at a fraction of the price, not a substitute for the original's depth.
