Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Art Of Wood EDP
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect a bold, zingy grapefruit blast that mellows into something surprisingly creamy and woody. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but if you're into unique, punchy citrus, this could be your next obsession.

Our Verdict - Black Edition EDP
This one's a proper mixed bag, isn't it? For some, it's a classy, versatile gem punching well above its price tag, a refined "gentleman's scent" that performs. For others, it's a generic, synthetic mess that evokes cheap aftershave. Definitely not a safe blind buy, despite what some reviewers say.
