Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 212 Heroes EDT
Divisive yet undeniably popular among its target audience. While some dismiss it as a generic Invictus clone with a tacky bottle, many young users find its fresh, sweet, and green character a compliment-getting winner. Don't knock it 'til you've sniffed it.

Our Verdict - Polo Blue Parfum
A divisive aquatic for many, Polo Blue nevertheless remains a classic for its original fans. It's safe, versatile, and undeniably fresh, but for new wearers, it might just be the epitome of generic 'blue' shower gel.
