Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Perseus EDP
Perseus is a divisive beast: some rave about its 'nuclear' fresh longevity and bright, modern citrus; others dismiss it as a sour, overpriced clone of Terre d'Hermes. Either way, it's a bold take on a classic profile, so don't blind buy.

Our Verdict - Vetiver Fatal EDP
This isn't your grandad's dusty vetiver. Vetiver Fatal is a modern, fruity-citrus take that's generally loved for its smooth, fresh character, though some find it a bit too subtle or not 'vetiver-y' enough. A delightful everyday reach for many.
