Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Acqua Colonia Intense Wakening Woods Of Scandinavia Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper grower, a surprisingly good value gem from 4711 that's divisive but loved by many. Expect a fresh, woody, spicy rose that lasts longer than you'd think, even if it's not quite Scandinavian.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Black Eau de Parfum
A modern classic in the making. Armaf Black delivers a fresh and spicy scent with a sophisticated rose-tobacco twist, punching far above its weight class. It's a genuine crowd-pleaser with impressive performance, though some find it a touch synthetic.
