Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Essence de la Vie
A solid, versatile amber-vanilla fragrance that's a bit of a crowd-pleaser. It doesn't break new ground, but it absolutely delivers on scent and performance.

Our Verdict - Dubai
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Versace Eros (2012) - mint, tonka bean and vanilla translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.
