Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sandalo EDP
This one's proper divisive - folks either reckon it's a classy, modern barbershop masterpiece or a boring, overpriced old-school scent that smells like cleaning products. If you fancy a classic, woody aromatic with some citrus zing, give it a go; just don't expect it to blow your socks off.

Our Verdict - Royal Scottish Lavender EDP
This discontinued Creed is a classic barbershop scent, clean and fresh with a good dose of lavender. It's high quality, but don't expect beast-mode performance; it's a skin scent for many, though some find it office-appropriate.
