Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Kumkat Wood
Kumkat Wood is a divisive one, a chameleon that shifts from a 'masterpiece' to 'grandma smelling' depending on who you ask. It's a citrus-wood punch with surprising elegance that either sings on skin or falls completely flat.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Excellus Men
This one's a mixed bag. Some absolutely love its fresh, creamy dry down and call it a classy alternative, while others are thoroughly unimpressed by the performance and quality control. If you get a good bottle, it's a solid scent for the price.
