Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pleasures For Men

A divisive scent from the 90s that’s now experiencing a bit of a nostalgic resurgence. Many still adore its unique clean freshness, while others find its retro vibe a bit too dated and synthetic. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but for those who get it, it's pure pleasure.

Our Verdict - Colors de Benetton Man

This 80s relic is seriously divisive. Some find it a clean, nostalgic barbershop scent, a cheapie gem with surprising projection. Others decry it as dated, cloying, and frankly, obnoxious. You'll either love its vintage charm or run screaming.

Its fresh, clean, and inoffensive character makes it highly suitable for casual wear and the office, with some users mentioning it as a preferred work scent.
