Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lord EDP
This 80s powerhouse fragrance is a love-it-or-hate-it beast. Some find its aggressive masculinity irresistible, while others find it simply unbearable. It's not for the faint-hearted, but if you're into unapologetic, room-filling scents, this could be your next signature.
