Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Decibel Eau de Parfum
This one's proper divisive, a true love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent. Forget blind buys, you absolutely need to get your nose on Decibel before committing, because what some call unique and mesmerising, others call 'disgusting' and 'church-like'.
Statement
Our Verdict - Invictus Victory Eau de Parfum
Divisive, yet a certified compliment-puller. While some find it cloying or distinctly 'Axe-like', many others praise its sweet, masculine charm and impressive staying power. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent that thrives in cold weather.

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its strong projection and enduring longevity, combined with its gourmand sweetness, make it too prominent for an office setting.
