Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Secret Man
This one's a wild ride. Some folk rate it a masterpiece, a refreshing blend perfect for any occasion. Others find it an abominable, synthetic scrub-off. Approach with caution, but if you're after a budget-friendly Kenzo Pour Homme vibe, this just might be your secret weapon.

Our Verdict - Rosabotanica Eau de Parfum
This isn't a demure rose, it's a wild, untamed garden. Rosabotanica is a divisive but much-loved green-spicy-woody floral that manages to be both unique and universally missed since its discontinuation. It's an acquired taste, but once you're in, you're obsessed.
