Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Wave EDT
Missoni Wave is a legendary summer cheapie, lauded for smelling like high-end alternatives at a fraction of the cost. Beloved, versatile, and well-performing for a freshie, it's a 'no-brainer' blind buy. Grab it before it’s gone.

Our Verdict - The Most Wanted Intense EDP
This one is a real head-scratcher and a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Some reckon it's a versatile crowd-pleaser, fresh and magnetic, while others found it utterly bland, generic, or even headache-inducing. Approach with caution, but if it hits right, you're golden.
