Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Clever Man
This one's a cheeky little upstart from Al Rehab, punching well above its weight class. If you're after a budget-friendly scent that outperforms the competition, get stuck in. It's shockingly good for the price and, dare we say, better than some designer heavyweights it's compared to.

Our Verdict - French Leather Eau de Parfum
This is a fiercely divisive rose-suede beast, with a hefty price tag that makes the 'love it or hate it' crowd even more vocal. It's either an understated luxury or an old lady's handbag - no middle ground here.
