Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Hugo Boss EDP
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.
Favourite
Our Verdict - 265 Shaik Opulent Shaik Classic No 77 Aftershave
A reasonable aftershave-format take on Shaik's lavender-cinnamon-clove-vanilla oriental profile, though Shaik being a smaller niche house means confidence in an exact match is lower than for the mainstream designer dupes in this range.
