Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bond No. 9 Perfume EDP
This one's a divisive affair for your nose, a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent. Many report a 'screechy' synthetic quality and a strong resemblance to Davidoff Cool Water, while others find it a sophisticated, long-lasting rose oud.

Our Verdict - The Collection Magnetic Musk EDP
Hugo Boss Magnetic Musk is a divisive beast: some say it's Dior Homme Intense and Musc Ravageur's love-child with an extra dose of honey, others find it too medicinal or linear. Expect a unique, powdery, beeswax-heavy experience, but definitely sample it first.
