Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rima XI Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper chameleon. Expect a creamy, warm spicy vanilla that's either a cosy gourmand dream or a 'soapy aftershave' shocker, depending on your bottle, your skin, and perhaps the alignment of the stars. It's divisive, but when it hits right, it's a beauty.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Boss Soul Eau de Parfum
Boss Soul is a divisive, discontinued scent that some rate as a masterpiece for its warm, spicy allure, while others dismiss it as forgettable and dated. Its biggest flaw? Performance, or lack thereof. A 'hug in a bottle' that fades far too quickly.
