Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Meydan Eau de Parfum

Meydan is a bold, take-no-prisoners leather. It's a proper Middle Eastern beast, demanding attention and oozing luxury. Definitely not a blind buy unless you live for powerful, unapologetic leather scents.

Our Verdict - Code Eau de Parfum

The Essence Vault's interpretation of Armani's Armani Code (2004) - Antoine Maisondieu, Antoine Lie and Clement Gavarry's lemon-anise-tobacco signature, here translated into a budget reading with the bergamot-anise-tobacco-leather spine still legible. Honest dupe-fidelity for evening and date wear.
