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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Synthetic EDP
Synthetic chases Guerlain's Jicky - that timeless aromatic-oriental fougere of clean lavender and citrus over warm vanilla, tonka and a hint of leathery warmth. It captures the lavender-and-vanilla genius, but renders it flatter and tamer, with the original's polarising animalic skank and depth pulled back to a softer, cleaner wear.
