Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Driven EDP
If you're a fan of Boss Bottled and want something similar but arguably more refined for an absolute steal, Dunhill Driven is your pick. It's a mass-appealing apple-spiced winner, despite some whingeing about its synthetic start.

Our Verdict - Boss Bottled Intense EDP
This one's a divisive throwback. Some reckon it's a nostalgic, sensual apple pie; others find it a synthetic, bubblegum-sweet mess. Either way, it's a stronger take on a classic, if you can find it.
