Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Azzaro pour Homme EDT

This is the definitive old-school men's fragrance - a barbershop classic that's been around since 1978 and still commands respect. It's unapologetically masculine and carries an aura of vintage sophistication, though some find it a bit too dated or sharp. A divisive gem, but a masterpiece to its loyal fans.

Our Verdict - Gucci pour Homme (2003) EDP

This isn't just a perfume; it's a cult classic that sends enthusiasts into a tailspin, not least because Gucci idiotically binned it. Forget its modern replacements - this is the real deal, a masterpiece of woody, smoky incense that still makes noses swoon, despite some performance gripes.
