Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Secret Man
This one's a wild ride. Some folk rate it a masterpiece, a refreshing blend perfect for any occasion. Others find it an abominable, synthetic scrub-off. Approach with caution, but if you're after a budget-friendly Kenzo Pour Homme vibe, this just might be your secret weapon.

Our Verdict - Flora by Gucci Cologne
A divisive fresh-floral, this bright Gucci flanker is either a zesty, uplifting hit for warm weather or a sharp, headache-inducing scrubber that dries down to an uninspired 'detergent' scent. Longevity is the biggest wild card.
