Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pure Instinct
This one's a mixed bag. Some reckon it's a solid, affordable blue-fragrance alternative, others find it utterly forgettable and generic. Either way, overspray this beast at your peril - you'll choke out everyone around you and probably give yourself a headache.

Our Verdict - La Lune Noir
This one's a bit of an enigma: a spicy, green-woody floral that manages to be both familiar and utterly distinct. It's not a safe blind buy, but if you're after something a bit different, La Lune Noir rises to the occasion.
