Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Hanuman
This one's a divisive topic: is it a genius elevation of a popular DNA, or just an overpriced copy? If you're after a sophisticated, longer-lasting version of Bal d'Afrique and money's no object, Hanuman could be your signature scent. Otherwise, you might find it a pricey disappointment.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Vibrant Vetiver Delight
This "Vibrant Vetiver" isn't quite as advertised on the vetiver front, and it's certainly a love-or-hate affair. Expect a sweet, zesty citrus bomb rather than earthy green, with some finding it a clean delight and others a scrubber.
