Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Allure Homme Sport Eau Extrême EDP
A masterclass in energetic masculinity, blending zesty citrus and cool mint with a creamy tonka-musk finish. The gold standard for sporty elegance, versatile and always crowd-pleasing.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Retro Flare (gold) EDP
A budget riff on MFK Gentle Fluidity Gold, keeping the juniper-nutmeg-vanilla-musk shape but flattening the original's fizzy, gourmand-without-being-gourmand balance into a straightforwardly sweeter, louder vanilla musk.
