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.

Our Verdict - Opulent Shaik Classic No 77 EDP
This one's a bit of a chameleon: a refined, classy Oriental that's drawing comparisons to Creed and Joop, but its performance is leaving some scratching their heads. Is it a powerhouse, or a subtle skin scent? Expect some debate, but generally a solid nod for a refined masculine aroma.
