Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Colors Man Black Eau de Parfum

This cheapie is a genuine head-scratcher. Most reckon it's a fantastic, warm, spicy scent that absolutely punches above its weight, but the performance is a full-on lottery, ranging from abysmal skin-scent to surprisingly beastly. A true 'your mileage may vary' kind of fragrance.

Our Verdict - Aigner No 1 Eau de Toilette

This one's a reliable, versatile fragrance that's a bit of a dark horse for compliments. It’s got a classic feel, but don’t worry, it avoids being truly 'old man' territory, despite some dissenting opinions. Best for those who appreciate understated elegance over flashy statements.
