Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Odyssey Aqua EDP
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.

Our Verdict - Italian Cypress EDP
A divisive masterpiece, Italian Cypress is hailed by many as Tom Ford's best work, though some find its classic, masculine leanings a bit dated. It's a commanding, high-quality scent that demands respect.
