Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Futura La Homme EDP

If you're after that iconic designer iris vibe without the designer price tag, Futura La Homme is a cracking contender. Just be warned, the opening's a bit rough around the edges, but let it settle and it's pure class for penniless perfumistas.

Our Verdict - Dior Homme 2005 EDT

A legendary, if divisive, classic. Dior Homme 2005 is a rich, iris-led stunner that dared to challenge masculine norms. Expect a sophisticated, somewhat powdery embrace that captivated many, but definitely isn't for everyone. Its discontinuation and subsequent reformulations only cemented its mythical status.
