Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lafayette Street Eau de Parfum
Bond No. 9 Lafayette Street is a divisive one, hyped by many as a mass-appealing, versatile masterpiece, but dismissed by others as overpriced and utterly generic. It's safe, sure, but whether it smells 'luxurious' or like cheap wet wipes depends entirely on your nose and your budget.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Whisky Red Eau de Toilette
Whisky Red is your wallet-friendly secret weapon, delivering a performance often outshining its designer inspiration. Don't let the price tag or bottle fool you; this is a seriously good, often lauded clone that punches well above its weight for a sophisticated, versatile scent.
