Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - pour L'Homme Eau de Parfum
This 80s icon is a nutmeg-heavy, spicy-woody charmer, though reformulations mean its once legendary performance is now a shadow of its former self. Still, for those who appreciate a classic, it's a nostalgic trip that mostly holds up.

Our Verdict - Rue du Cirque Eau de Parfum
This one's a bit of a head-scratcher. Some reckon it's a dead ringer for Delina, others swear blind it's a Fracas flanker that went rogue. What everyone agrees on is that it's a marvellous, fresh-spicy-floral dream. A definite crowd-pleaser, if a little confused about its own identity.
