Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Champion EDP
A truly gorgeous, luxurious aroma that’s both invigorating and comforting. It's a confident, perfectly balanced blend that turns heads without shouting about it.

Our Verdict - Eau de Lacoste L.12.12. Rouge EDT
This one's a mixed bag, to put it mildly. Some love the fruity, spicy vibe; others find it a generic, synthetic mess that just doesn't last. Don't expect a groundbreaking scent, but for a cheap thrill it might just do the trick.
