Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Awake EDP
Awake is a proper marmite scent - you'll either love its intensely realistic coffee hit or find it disgustingly cloying. There's no middle ground here, so brace yourself for a potent, divisive experience.
Statement
Our Verdict - Incense Original For Men EDP
A budget version of Prada's Infusion de Vetiver. The clean, soapy peppery-vetiver idea is recognisable, but this dupe runs a little sharper and greener up top and softer in the drydown, missing some of the elegant, almost floral ginger-vetiver smoothness that makes the Prada feel so refined.
