Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cologne One EDC
This one's a proper head-scratcher. Some reckon it's a deconstructed masterpiece from a modern perfumery grandmaster, fresh and pure. Others are convinced it smells like fish. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so sniff before you splurge.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Astor Place EDP
Astor Place is a divisive powerhouse floral; some can't get enough of its vibrant freshness, while others find it screechy and overbearing. It's a loud and unapologetic statement, perfect for those who want their presence known.

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, clean, and subtle nature makes it a good fit for casual and office wear, though some find it too fleeting for the price. Given the polarisation in reviews, it's a risky choice for formal events or intimate dates.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
