Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Hugo Boss Eau de Parfum

This one's a proper grown-up scent, divisive for its mature character and hit-or-miss performance. It's often praised as a classic and unique offering from Boss, but some find it dated or simply too fleeting to matter. A proper 'love it or leave it' juice.

Our Verdict - Portinari Eau de Parfum

Portinari is a well-blended, inoffensive everyday scent, though its performance frustrates many. If you're after a subtle, slightly sweet aromatic, and don't mind a skin scent, it's a decent shout. Otherwise, you might find it a bit underwhelming.
