Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cuba Prestige Eau de Parfum
Divisive, cheap as chips, and punching way above its price point. It's either an absolute bargain dupe of A*Men or an unwearable chemical monstrosity. You'll either love it or hate it, but for a tenner, you can afford the gamble.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Bergamote Soleil Eau de Parfum
A truly gorgeous citrus that's bright, natural, and refreshingly complex. The only catch is its notoriously short lifespan, making it a love-it-or-resent-the-reapplication-needs type of scent.
