Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pour Un Homme de Caron Eau de Parfum
This isn't just a classic, it's a piece of perfumery history. While some find its subtle, powdery lavender comforting and timeless, others declare it an overly simple, dated relic with abysmal performance. You'll either get it, or you won't. And if you do, you'll love it.

Our Verdict - Cosmopolitan Eau de Toilette
This budget-friendly clone of JPG Le Male is a solid, clean, and sweet vanilla powerhouse. Some consider it a club beast, others a versatile everyday scent, but nearly everyone agrees it's punching above its weight for the price. If you love sweet vanilla and want to smell good on a shoestring, this is your guy.
