Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 212 Heroes EDT
Divisive yet undeniably popular among its target audience. While some dismiss it as a generic Invictus clone with a tacky bottle, many young users find its fresh, sweet, and green character a compliment-getting winner. Don't knock it 'til you've sniffed it.

Our Verdict - Black Suede Real Intense EDT
A modern, spicy-fresh take on classic masculinity. It's a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde on performance, with some loving its longevity and others finding it disappears faster than a free round at the pub. Definitely a crowd-pleaser that won't break the bank.
