Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Forever Wanted Elixir EDP
This one's a definite crowd-pleaser for those who like their leather served with a sweet and juicy berry twist. While some might find it a bit linear, the raspberry-leather combo is a proven winner, creating an attention-grabbing scent that's received widespread approval.

Our Verdict - Hugo Intense EDP
This one's a divisive affair. Hugo Intense swings between 'masterpiece' and 'synthetic headache' for many. Expect a bold, sweet apple that leans fresh rather than foodie, all backed by a surprisingly clean leather base. Love it or hate it, it's definitely not boring.
