Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Escape EDP
This 90s powerhouse is a true love-it-or-hate-it scent. Expect a strong, complex ride of fruity florals and herbal notes, with serious sillage and longevity - if your skin chemistry agrees.
Acquired
Our Verdict - X For Men EDP
Divisive, opulent, and unequivocally mature - X for Men isn't for everyone, but those who 'get' it hail it as a masterpiece of spicy woods and refined masculinity. Others find it smells like an old man's spice rack or even anchovies.
