Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Madison Square Park EDP
This perfume is a divisive one. You'll either adore its unique green and fruity freshness, or you'll be left underwhelmed, finding it too generic or synthetic for its luxury price tag. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent, but for those who love it, prepare for a joyful spring garden in a bottle.
Favourite
Our Verdict - 357 Hugo Boss Ma Vie EDP
357 follows Boss Ma Vie's soft freesia-and-rose heart over a clean woody base, but comes across noticeably plainer than Hugo Boss's original.

Office Date

Its fresh and clean profile makes it highly suitable for casual wear or as an inoffensive office scent, despite some finding it a bit sharp initially. While it can work for a daytime date, it's not quite robust enough for formal events or intense sport.
