Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 360° Red EDT
This budget-friendly banger is the 'dildo of the fragrance industry' - divisive but widely appreciated as a solid ADG dupe with added spice. Some find it synthetic, others laud its performance and value.

Our Verdict - Contradiction EDP
This one's a mixed bag. Some find it a clean, unique classic for office and casual wear, while others can't get past a synthetic, overpowering lime. If you're after a fresh, subtly spicy everyday scent from the 90s, give it a sniff - but expect weak performance.
