Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - de Givenchy
This 2018 take on Eau de Givenchy is a divisive drop. Loved by some for its crisp neroli and citrus appeal, others sniff a budget cleaning product. If you're after a fresh-out-the-shower blast without heavy commitment, it's worth a shot, but don't expect a groundbreaking performance.

Our Verdict - Beau Acute
This is your everyday freshie, pure and simple. It's a reliable crowd-pleaser, perfect for when you want to smell good without shouting about it. Forget the hype around clones - just enjoy it for what it is.

Office Casual Sport

Its light, fresh citrus and white floral profile, coupled with moderate sillage, makes it perfect for casual outings and even the office. However, its understated nature means it won't shine on formal occasions or a romantic date where something bolder is preferred.
