Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Al Fares
A divisive blend that promises a clean, fresh vibe, yet delivers a dated, soapy aroma reminiscent of 90s aftershaves. Expect mixed reactions; some find it a beast, others a bust, particularly the weak spray version. Stick to the oil.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Manifesto
This early 00s green dream is proper divisive - you'll either love its fresh, peppery basil or absolutely hate its 'weird, disgusting' herbal vibe. If it settles right on your skin, prepare for effortless compliments, otherwise, it's a scrubber.
