Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Odyssey Aqua Eau de Parfum
A solid, affordable freshie that's a crowd-pleaser and fantastic value for money. Expect compliments, but don't expect groundbreaking originality; it's a popular, sweet, minty-green DNA that won't ruffle any feathers. Just watch out for potential batch issues regarding performance.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Polo Cologne Intense Eau de Parfum
Polo Cologne Intense aims for a modern take on a classic, but this flanker gets a mixed bag of reactions. Some laud its fresh, green revitalisation, while others dismiss it as a diluted, generic scent that barely lives up to the 'intense' in its name. Expect a clean but fleeting experience.
