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 - Unforgivable Black EDP
Unforgivable Black is a boozy, citrus-heavy fragrance that swings between a freshie and a heavy night scent. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with fans praising its potency and boozy uniqueness, while others find it too intense or uninspired. Definitely one to try before you buy.
