Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Power of Seduction
This one's a proper bargain-bin banger for some, an acquired taste for others. Expect a fresh, mass-appealing scent that punches above its weight on price, though its synthetic edge and fleeting performance might leave you wanting more.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Cygnus Pour Homme
This one is a crowd-pleaser for younger chaps looking for something a bit different for a night out. Expect compliments and solid performance, though some might find it a touch unrefined compared to its pricier counterparts.
