Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Darley Eau de Parfum
This one is a divisive topic, with many feeling it's a high-class Le Male clone that costs far too much for its performance, while others find its smooth, refined profile and barbershop freshness irresistible. Sample first, definitely. If you love the DNA, you just might love it.

Our Verdict - Tag-Him Prestige Eau de Parfum
This is a seriously impressive 'inspired by' scent, delivering a well-loved fragrance profile at a fraction of the cost. Forget the original, this is often touted as being better - smoother, less cloying, and with a maturity the designer version sometimes lacks. A crowd-pleaser and compliment-getter, especially with the ladies.
