Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Mombasa
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Byredo Bal d'Afrique (2009) - bergamot, marigold and vetiver translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Cape Town Grace
Street Origins' Cape Town Grace is a bright, uplifting citrus-floral that's guaranteed to put a smile on your face. It's a crowd-pleasing, easy-wearer that doesn't try too hard but still leaves a lasting impression.
