Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Athens Eau de Parfum
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Paco Rabanne Invictus (2013) - grapefruit, bay leaf and guaiac wood translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.
Our Verdict - Acqua di Gio Eau de Parfum
The Essence Vault's interpretation of Giorgio Armani's Acqua di Gio (1996) - Alberto Morillas's aquatic-fresh signature that founded the modern marine-masculine genre, here translated into a budget reading with the bergamot-calone-cedar spine still legible. Honest dupe-fidelity for summer casual and office wear.
