Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - CK One Shock For Him EDT
This is a seriously divisive cheapie that punches above its weight. Some rave about its unique sweet tobacco, while others can't get past that odd cucumber opening or the questionable performance. Definitely a try-before-you-buy, unless you are into blind bargains.
Statement
Our Verdict - NYC Frozen For Men EDP
A budget take on CK One Shock for Him. The fresh clementine-and-cucumber opening over peppery cardamom and a warm cashmeran-patchouli base captures the original's fresh-meets-spicy character; one wearer rates it close but 'more balanced', and it actually out-lasts the reformulated original while reading a touch flatter.
