Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Man Eau de Parfum
This 90s gourmand classic is a surprisingly divisive choice, with many praising its unique coffee and vanilla blend, while others bemoan its frustratingly poor performance and sometimes synthetic feel. It's a cheap thrill, if you can get past the quirks.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Animale Eau de Parfum
A legendary cheapie that punches well above its weight, Animale Animale is a divisive gourmand. Some reckon it's a dated mess; others hail it as a groundbreaking, sexy honey-tobacco dream. Approach with an open mind, particularly for the colder months.
