Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Man Extreme Eau de Parfum
A truly gorgeous citrus-woody number, let down by a performance so tragic it's almost legendary. Everyone adores the scent, but the general consensus is that it vanishes faster than a free round at the pub.

Our Verdict - Pret a Porter Eau de Parfum
A divisive, budget-friendly 90s flashback. Most find it a clean, fresh citrus blast, but some recoil from a 'screechy' floral note. It's safe, versatile, and often described as a 'gateway' scent, making it a nostalgic pick for many - just don't expect a powerhouse.
