Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Vigour Eau de Parfum
This one's a quiet charmer. If you want something pleasant, inoffensive, and cheap enough to re-spray all day without a second thought, Vigour is your guy. Don't expect to turn heads, but those close enough will appreciate its subtle warmth.
Statement
Our Verdict - Istanbul Eau de Parfum
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb (2012) - bergamot, cinnamon and tobacco translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.
